c1 radiator support question

[James B.]

If I remember correctly, all radiator supports are the same from '56-'60,right? It's the 61-62's that are different?

Wrong. At the very least, HP '60's use

a different support, with the drain on the LH side.

The 56/57 have different hood hinge mounts.

Re: c1 radiator support question

For a '60 there are two styles of supports - one for the brass radiators and one for the alum. top-tank radiator.

And, as Tom and I found out the hard way, there is also a different hood for each of the two supports! You can not put a copper radiator support hood an an aluminum radiator support car. There were still 59 style hoods being used on early 60 cars that had the copper radiator until they were used up, and then the new 60 style hoods were used.
