The Premium Radiator Core Support for 1994–1998 Chevy and GMC C/K OBS trucks and SUVs is an all-new, OE-style restoration component engineered and manufactured by Auto Metal Direct. Designed specifically for the later GMT-400 front-end architecture, this radiator support restores factory-correct alignment of the radiator, headlights, grille, hood latch, and surrounding front sheet metal. Built for serious classic truck restorers, this AMD component delivers the precision, strength, and authenticity required for high-quality OBS restorations.
Unlike many aftermarket radiator supports marketed as universal 1988–1998 solutions, AMD’s premium OBS radiator core support is vehicle-specific to 1994–1998 applications. Universal designs often blend early and late OBS features, which can result in poor headlight alignment, uneven hood gaps, incorrect grille positioning, and compromised front-end geometry. AMD’s approach eliminates these issues by using all-new tooling developed directly from original GM specifications for the later OBS platform.
Manufactured from heavy-gauge steel, this core support faithfully reproduces original contours, mounting locations, and structural reinforcements. Every critical interface point is designed to mirror factory geometry, ensuring consistent panel gaps and proper front clip alignment. This level of accuracy is essential when restoring OBS GMT-400 trucks where fit and finish are closely scrutinized.
This radiator core support is a direct replacement for multiple GM factory part numbers and is correct for V8-equipped applications. It services a wide range of OBS pickups and SUVs, including C1500, C2500, C3500, K1500, K2500, and K3500 models, as well as Blazer, Suburban, Tahoe, and Yukon platforms within the listed year ranges. As with all AMD premium sheet metal, this component reflects AMD’s commitment to OE-style accuracy, durability, and restoration-grade quality.
Developed as part of AMD’s continued investment in the OBS truck market, this premium radiator support offers a level of precision and build quality that generic aftermarket alternatives cannot match. For restorers who demand correct fitment and authentic construction, this AMD radiator core support is the proper foundation for a correctly aligned front end.
Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
