One nice, made-by-70Post-using-all-factory-components, '70-2 Cutlass/442 4 row radiator top plate.

>I use ALL ORIGINAL FACTORY PIECES so it will look correct and fit like the original....original top plate and original brackets.

>Nice clean parts used - beadblasted to bare clean steel and then sprayed with multiple coats of a good catalyzed black epoxy primer. There are some specks of dust here and there in the top surface paint so you may want to lightly scuff/de-nib and respray with your final paint.

>Underside is clean as well.

>Includes a original closed cell foam strip/seal that was placed along the top rail of the radiator core to seal against the underside of the top plate - in nice clean condition.

>I probably have some new phosphate 5/16" bolts with non-factory head markings and may also have some good used rubber isolators at an extra charge....I'll check.

$160 + shipping to the lower 48. PM your zipcode if you have interest as USPostal seems to have the only decent shipping option on this large piece (shipping may be as low as $20 but I would have to check with a zipcode).

 

I use one of these made by 70Post repro's in my car and it fit perfect,also looks much better then pitted originals I was seeing when I was looking to buy.
Great part!

 

Walter - Thanks for the good review on my top plate. Getting these super clean before paint is time consuming - there is A LOT of surface area to deal with.

Also included is a choice of these two short sleeve T-shirts.....the white shirt is a L size and the black is a XL.

The black "SoCal" shirt has the same artwork on the back....not sure on the white shirt.

You can also save some on shipping if you need a Gas Tank Pad (see link below my sig line). I can wrap it around the top plate and it may not add much shipping cost over the $25 Gas Tank Pad cost....I'll have to check.

Hard to tell from the photo but this may be a 71/72 top plate.

 

Jimmy - It has the correct-for-69/70 radiator tank brackets...the longer "drop" style that those used.

SALE PENDING

 

Patton your workmanship is outstanding! How many of these do you have? Al

 

Al - I'll check my inventory.....may have another one partially done...need to dig into the top plate box and see. I'll let you know if I have another and the status of it.

Thanks for the props!

 

Patton,
please put me in the queue too if you turn up more than one. My original is quite pitted and will do for now but would love to find one as nice as that in your pics. Thanks. Cheers Rohan

 

Whats the difference between 70 and 71-72 exactly?

 

 

gotcha thx

 

TTT - I have another one of these finished....in black epoxy primer now.

 

Patton, would you have one of these for a 72 Supreme?

Thanks

 

Will - No difference in top plates b/n a Cutlass "S" or a Cutlass Supreme, etc.

BUT....I don't have any with the "short" insulator brackets (as shown in the pic posted by "WTHIRTY1" above). My " '69/70 " version WILL work and fit on a '71/2 just fine...no mods, etc required. Olds just changed the style of bracket slightly sometime after the '70 model year for some reason. If anything, the '69/70 version end brackets seem to engage and hold the radiator tanks over a larger surface area since the brackets have the longer "drop" on them.
