73-80 radiator mounts?

I'm putting together the cooling system for my '80, which I tore apart 6 months ago. At the time, I must have been thinking that putting the radiator back would be so simple, I didn't take pictures

Lo and behold, I got to fit the radiator, and it doesn't click how it suppose to go on. Looked up on LMC, looks like there are brackets for 81-87's, but none for 73-80s...do the radiators mount without brackets on 73-80's, or are they just not available anymore? I'm have a moron moment right now...

Does anyone have any pictures or know the radiator's supposed to mount up?
