Core support top plate

I know 70 vs 71/72 A body core supports are different. Are the core support top plates also different? Im thinking yes? and is the only difference in 70 between the HD cooling (455) and 350 (small rad) core top plate the radiator support brackets? Otherwise all 70 top plates are the same except for the brackets?
Thx

I know there's 2/3 row radiator top plates with and without holes for the fan shroud, and they're a little different shape too. I'm not positive if that was true in 1970 or not, but I know they had the different ones in 1971 as I've pulled both from parts cars. John

Let me add, I know the 4 row top plate from 1969 through 1972 was the same.

This is an old thread, but it has pictures of different radiator top plates.

not true - the 4-row top plate is the same 1969-'70 which is different 1971-'72

I'd forgotten about the long and short isolator brackets.
