The title says it all.
Will the 66 B-body radiator support fit into an early B-body or were they totally different?

That's what I thought. I am going to do a little repair on mine and someone offered me a replacement cheap.

I knew the 62 to 65 were the same. I didn't think the 66 would fit but this guy was positive it would.

Since you can bolt a 66-70 K into a 62-65 I'd be willing to bet you could MAKE it fit , Ask the guy if you can grab it and compare it to the front of the car .

I'm selling the car. I'd replace it if it was cheap and available but I'm not going to engineer something like that this late in the game.

Thanks for the pics! Too bad I can't print it out and install it on the car.

I'll repair the one on the car and make it all purty again.

If you look at the drivers side of the early supports you will see they're indented forward top and bottom. The factory radiator cores are actually soldered with the drivers side of the core crooked (forward in the bracket). The only reason I can see is fan clearance. Seems like they went to a lot of work for little gain.
