I may have a rear spoiler for sale,, as of next week.. If interested let me know
I wasn’t looking for radiator.It had the 26 inch radiator. Which the sides fell off of when I removed it. It is a manual radiator so no trans cooling built in.
I wasn’t looking for radiator.
My wagon will be converted to A/C (one of these days) and part of that process is to convert my existing 18” radiator to a 26” one.
To do it correct, it requires replacement of the two metal plates (painted body color) located on both sides of the radiator that is welded onto the core support.

To clarify, H & N are F-body and F & G are M-body.
R, W, X & S is B-body, so not applicable here.
There is a couple of other ways to accomplish what I want to do.
One version is to get out the Sawzall and start cutting away, then drill new bolt holes.
Another version is what another fellow forum member did. He made adaptor brackets which he attached his wider radiator too. This method works as well – but the entire width of radiator is not used.

You can see the plates outlined in white, here. His hand-made brackets for radiator are black in color.
Sense I will be stripping the engine compartment and interior of car down to replace the firewall (for A/C) and to convert car to a manual transmission (transmission hump and crossmember modifications), my thought is to fix this, as well.

I have a fender from my 78 if that would work. minor dings but other than that in really great shape.Does anyone have a really nice Left front fender for a 79 aspen,,, and maybe a grille?
Let me weigh it and try to figure it out. Give me a couple days and thank youEd how much do you want for that fender,,and Do you have any idea what shipping to New York , might be?
I see the car was a no-A/C car.
Did it have the 18/20/22”, or the 26” wide radiator?
And,
Do you have the Left side under dash vent available?

I wasn't thinking right on the fender. I do need to keep it as the 80 has different fenders on it. I will have a complete 1980 front clip available including the grill soon if anyone is interestedLet me weigh it and try to figure it out. Give me a couple days and thank you
