WTB 67 or 68 radiator support cuts, headlight bucket location

I changed my 71 gmc over to the 68 chevy grille. I wasnt aware of the support differences and have already bolted the front end back on the truck. i also repaired this support under the battery tray so i want to use this one if possible. I already pm'ed richard2717 and he is working on checking some he has out for me to maybe get me a template. I already tried to mount the headlight buckets to my support but the radiator support holes are in the wrong place. So if he cant come through for me, what do you got?

I have this 67 that will be coming apart shortly. It has what you need if you can wait a few days. The whole bottom of the support is gone so I don't mind cutting it up. $50 plus shipping for both of them but won't know shipping until i get it cut.

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

If you still have the headlight brackets you can cut the raised part away until its flat and weld it onto the core support. I would lap weld it to make it easiest, the lap weld wont hurt the way the lights fit. Lap weld will also help locate it in the correct spot,
I usually attach it with sheet metal screws then test fit the headlight bezels I plan to use for final assembly to ensure rhe headlight is centered in the bezel, when happy with the fit weld in the headlight patch panel and remove the screws.

BOOM!
You should post a little how-to over on the message board about this.
