Thanks Tom. Mine is a SB w/ factory A/C and the top plate is original. Some
day in my spare time I'll see if I can find any numbers on the shroud.

Even though it wouldn't be correct looking, would a '69 top plate & shroud
fit a '68? I think it might, just based on the fact that my car has a 1958
block with a long water pump and later-style pulley setup, and the radiator
and shroud were both from friends who just had them laying around. I have 
no
idea what year or model car (or truck) either of them originally came from,
but they fit fine
AS long as you have the 69-72 top plate, you can use any 69-72 shroud.  The
69-70 are the same, the 71-72 are the same.  I would use a 71-72 shroud
since it covers more of the radiator.  As for the top plates, there are 2
different ones.  One is for a non A/C small block car, the other one is for
a factory A/C car or factory big block car.  The ideal one is the latter of
the 2.
