71-72 Cutlass Core Support
Good condition, just surface rust, no rust holes or dents. Can email pics. $125. New Haven CT area. Local Pickup.
This pic should clear up what year(s) it fits.
This is the battery area, its solid.

I bought it as a backup and never needed to install it. It's marked with yellow paint 70-2. Its a solid part even in the battery tray area. I'm no longer in the hobby and thought I would sell some of the remaining parts.

The '70 front end goes together totally differently than the 71/72. The 71/72 are essentially the same except that the top plate of the '72 has a "bump" where the outboard ends of the grills wrap around and in. The bumps give clearance for the grill.
The '72 core support should work in a '71 from what I understand, but the '71 core support causes clearance issues with the '72 grillwork.

Yes you could use your original rad support. Yes this 71 support would bolt up exactly the same. What's wrong with yours that requires the swap? If it's the battery tray area you could use this one as a donor, or fabricate the tray area yourself. IIRC you have those skills.

Here's a very clear picture that shows the 72 Radiator Core support with the 'bumps' for the forward set grills. Note: it also has the tabs spot welded in for the fan shroud mounting.
