[ScottH]

Looking for an upper radiator hold down as shown in pics.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

What year? I've got one of the early (up to 80) ones.

To be honest I'm not sure. Trying to put together an 83 but missing some parts. recently bought a radiator for it & afterwards found out there r 2 different size radiators. The one I bought has a core that is approx. 21" tall, which is the taller style. So I'm assuming I need the hold down that is used with the taller radiator, the one shown in the pic. I think it up to 80 but not positive. If u could post a pic I could tell.

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that 73-80 uses a different one than 81up. I have two of the earlier ones like in the picture. They are for 4 row radiators.

How much do u need for one?

Scott, I have a pile of upper hold downs. $15 plus shipping if I have the correct one for you. 3 or 4 core? I'll try to post pics asap.
Thanks,
Ray

3 row is fine, thanks ray

The original one you were looking for is 4 core and there is another similiar 4 core. The 3 cores either step down for the shorter radiator or use the 2 small brackets.

Ray, here is my dilemma......no radiator came with the 83 c10 but the hold down bracket with a shroud did. I bought a 3 row rad that seller told me it came from an 83 but wont work with the hold down I have as its too tall (core is approx. 29wx21h). From what I have found it appears that either I need a shorter rad (29x18) or a different hold down.

The other issue I'm not sure about is if I go with the rad I bought, and use one of ur hold downs, would the shroud I have still work, or would I need another one of those as well?

Appreciate any help.
