Hello my buddy is looking for the driver side front rad cradle section for 70 challenger ac car he's pretty fussy it has to be from a 1970 challenger would someone here happen to have that part? if so how much would it cost him?
Thanks for your time

I answered this over on CC.com and the answer is, Google 70 Challenger rad support and you'll get lots of options. AMD sells a complete one for $380 and Classic Industries sells pieces priced from $119 -$300. I also mentioned about the body stamping # on the upper tie bar.

The next question is 22" or 26" radiator?

the problem is: 1970 E-body radiator core supports top, left & right are '70 ONLY ......  :o  ...... and are different LH & RH - 22" VS. 26" (unlike the "one size fits all" reproduction parts)

per the parts catalogs:
:dunno:  I think I got the lower crossmember correct - it is poorly described as: CROSSMEMBER 23-32-17 Frt. Side Rail Frt.

here's a '70 LA built Challenger that has been providing sheetmetal for my project

I don't want to cut the inner fender - but I'd drill out the spotwelds & cut the frame rail/lower crossmember to separate the LH driver's side 26" radiator side panel - $150 plus shipping
*  when the top crossmember was cut with a torch, the top inside corner of the desired panel was cut * yellow (& sample pic from my car * green)

What are the differences between 70 and all others

If I remember correctly, they're only different where they attach to the frame rail  :thinking:
