Yes and no. The radiator was a carry-over, the support was not. The 68 support is unique to 68 only. 69-72 supports require major modifications to get them into 68 but it is possible.

Just call DeWitts main number first (517-548-0600) and ask for John. He can hook you up. The call may bounce to Afco, and you get Jason or someone else.
