I found and purchased a 068, weird thing is tho, it’s on a 2 core base and core. Original top and side mnts. Apparently was worked on prior to my dad purchasing the car in the early 80s. Has been sitting since.

The 066 is the standard 2-core 340 radiator. The 068 is the heavy duty 3-core and is very very hard to find. It only came on cars with the 3:91 rear end or on air conditioned cars. I have a nice used 068 I'd sell, it's not as nice as a Glen Ray restored one but very decent for being an original 48 yr old part. Glen Ray can't get 3-cores new like the factory, so they take 2 new 2-cores, split one, and solder them together. They do a fantastic job with them but they aren't quite the same as the factory. I spoke to one of the guys there several years ago and that is what he told me. I think Glen Ray gets $1300 for an 068 if, and it's a big IF, he has one to restore! Steve, I think we had a miscommunication on core availability. I do a 3 row in that radiator every day and have done so for the past 30 + years. I don't have to "split" anything to do it. Our conversation must have got sidetracked or you must be confusing me with another shop had talked to about this in the past. Bob

I have an 066 and 068 restored by Glen-Ray in the box if you can't find a good one, but they are not cheap.
