Need Info For Heavy Duty 4 Core Radiator Lower Core to Fan Shroud Mounting

Does anyone have a original 1968 with HD 4 core radiator that could maybe send pics of the lower fan shroud mount on the radiator core. How they mount together. I’m switching over to HD and confused how this is different from the non- heavy duty. Thanks!

Here's an old thread with photos. I still have the core supports so let me know if there's anything unclear or if you need to see any other views. John

Thank you John! Do you know if the 68 would be done the same? I know the whole radiator is different between 68 and 69. Looks like a section was cut out in each tab area and an additional bracket added.

The assembly manual shows it but the detail isn't great (below, lower left corner). They use an offset bar of sorts (as sown on the 69 pic in the other thread). If you just try to bolt the shroud to the core support without the bar the top plate will sit too far away from the top of the shroud and when you try to tighten it the shroud will hit the fan. (my experience anyway). I don't have a four core radiator so I had to fudge some other stuff to get mine to work. (I cut a short piece of aluminum tube and ran a longer bolt through it to allow for the offset)

FWIW they don't even graphically show the correct top plate
