Hi guys; Anyone have a line on a set of driver and passenger side oem 26" radiator support brackets for 70-74 E-BODY or 71-74-BODY? Not looking for the aftermarket passenger side conversion. I found that the driver's side is different too by taking measurements from two cars with 22" and 26" brackets. Thanks,Dave

I have it in my fading memory banks the driver-side sheet metal is the same in the OEM setup, and only the passenger side of the radiator opening varies between the 22 and 26. further, I seem to recall the 19 in my 318 convertible has the 22-inch sheet metal opening.

No sir. You are wrong. I have two e-body cars. One with a 22" radiator and one with a 26" radiator. I took measurements and physically see a difference. The driver's side is different. Not just the passenger side. Here are some shots of the driver's side. The first and third pictures are a 22". The second and fourth are 26". The most obvious is the distance from the harness pass through window to the inside edge of the bracket. It is over 1". Also compare at the bottom where the lower support curve is. You can see a difference in width there as well.
