73-80 GM P/U Radiator Support

The 73-80 GM P/U Radiator Support from Racing Power Co-Packaged is a direct-fit replacement radiator support engineered for 1973–1980 General Motors full-size pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles. This steel component serves as the structural mounting point for your engine's cooling system, bearing the weight of the radiator core and housing while maintaining precise alignment. Whether you're restoring a classic Chevy C/K pickup, rebuilding after accident damage, or upgrading a worn original assembly, this radiator support delivers OEM-quality construction without premium pricing.

Fabricated from heavy-duty steel and finished in chrome, the 73-80 GM P/U Radiator Support resists corrosion while maintaining structural rigidity under sustained cooling system pressure. The chrome plating not only protects against rust in the engine bay environment but also complements factory aesthetics for vehicles where the support remains partially visible. At 3.25 pounds, this support is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring proper radiator mounting height and core-to-fan clearance—critical factors that prevent fan blade interference and optimize cooling performance. The compact footprint (7.4 x 2.15 x 33.55 inches) confirms compatibility with standard GM radiator installations across the full-size truck and SUV lineup of this era.

Mechanics and restoration enthusiasts restoring 1973–1980 Chevrolet and GMC pickups, Suburbans, and Blazers will find this radiator support essential for engine bay reassembly. Installation pairs seamlessly with original radiator hose routing and mechanical fan assemblies common to these platforms. The steel-and-chrome construction integrates directly with existing frame mounts, requiring no modifications to core support components or cooling ducting. For anyone diagnosing overheating issues or replacing a cracked or bent support, this Racing Power Co-Packaged unit restores structural integrity and ensures your cooling system operates at design specifications.
