Are 63 and 64 rad supports the same and interchangeable? Thanks in advance. Jack J.

Re: Rad supports

Jack,

1963 and 1964 Radiator Supports are not even remotely alike other than they both support the same radiator style. You can use the 1964 in a 1963 and it will serve the purpose BUT it will never pass NCRS judging for originality.

Regards,

JR

Re: Rad supports

I think that you will find Coffman's Corvette is THE source for all the repo supports. They are sold through various vendors, C Central, Joe Ray, Keen's, Long Island, etc

Re: Rad supports

Be careful. There have been a lot of complaints about the fit of the repro. I tried to order a repro through Paragon (Coffman) and they wanted me to sign a statement that I was aware of the problems and would pay a 30% restock fee regardless if it fit or not. I was able to pick up a very nice original at Bloomington for $225. I think an original is your best bet especially for judging. Good originals are a little hard to find but are out there.

Don,I just bought one off ebay for $142.50 plus shipping. Looked good to me and I did talk via email to the seller before bidding. I'll see how it goes. Jack
