The sentence on the very bottom of that sticker tells you exactly what year it's from. I can't read it. Looks like a half ton truck since it may have had the straight six 265.

That rad support is used on LOTS of cars, not just the second gen F body.

the radiator shroud could be from an 80's monte carlo. the SS had a 305, and the LS has a 4.3L v8. eh... but no manual tranny offered on those.

i'm willing to bet that many other GM cars had similar engine options... caprice, impala, trucks, etc.
