Will a 73 Torino radiator support work on a 72?

'72 is one year only. 1973 through 1976 interchange, however.

Does anyone offer an aftermarket replacement that you know of? Thank you for replying.

I wouldn't bet on it. Not much aftermarket stuff is made for these cars. Some is, but definitely not very much. You'll probably have to find a salvage yard and get one, or repair yours. Mine is rusted through at the bottom, and I'm going to weld it back together. Rad supports are usually expensive because they're so big (and those old yards know that what they've got is hard to find), plus it takes a while to get them out.

Ok thanks. I've got 2 72's and a 73. All three are rusted through. I was hoping the 73 would fit the 72 but oh well.

I just pulled my 72 support off and compared it to a 73. The only difference i see is the outer headlight mount needs to be switched to the 73 support. Its bolted on so i dont see a problem. It's frame mount holes measure the same. How much for your 74 support?

DH28, thanks for that info. I parted out a 73, and kept the rad support to use on my 72. I always assumed that particular item would be the same 72+.
