    Core support swap out

    Is it possible to switch out a 71 Skylark radiator core with another GM radiator core of a similar year? If so what model and what year?

    70 should be the same as long as you pick the same core number. 72 lark radiators will fit but the filler neck is cocked and the corner is maybe different. Aluminum repros are made too.

    Do you mean a core support? Or a radiator?

    I am sorry. I was talking about a core support. The radiator is being replaced with an aluminum radiator.

    For core supports 1971 and 72 and the same. Although a 70 is not exactly the same it wil still bolt up to a 1971-72 Buick A body.

    Wes, the new reproductions will be out soon, or there are some repair kits for under the battery available.

    I have several core supports that are solid everywhere except under the battery if that would work for you.
