68 4 core radiator top plate

Looking for a 4 core radiator top plate for 68 442. I have a 455, th400, 4 core radiator and the top plate I have is for a 3 row radiator with the tabs bent out.

There is one for sale right now on RealOldsPower.com.....saw it last night.

Here's a link:

http://www.realoldspower.com/phpBB2/...ic.php?t=75111

I don't know about the price...you can work that angle. If, however, you need someone to contact the seller on there (you may not be able to register on that site as the owners seem to VERY RANDOMLY bring in new registrants) I can contact Matt and put you two in touch.

Thanks Patton, that is the one. The price is high though. I would like to talk to Matt and see how negotiable he is.
Thanks again, Bob

Bob--I sent him a PM asking for an email or phone number. I'll PM you on this site when he sends it over. At this point the price is an asking price since the part's apparently not sold yet....maybe you two can work something out if he still has it.

The Fusick version is for '69-72 cars.....unless they've recently added another one for '68s.

Of course, I could make you one if you can come up with a clean 3 core top plate (and some measurements). I've made quite a few of the '69-72 versions so the '68 version should be do-able.

My mistake, to used to seeing '68-72 in listings for any parts.

Patton,

The 68 4 core is a completely different plate. It's not just a matter of changing the saddles

Well that sucks!! Didn't realize this...thanks. I had a real nice 68 4 row top plate but it went overseas last summer. Never thought to take it and compare it to the other plates for that year. Man, the 68's have some odd parts!! Thanks again for the heads up Mike.
