That’s not true.
The 26” radiator will fit any 67-76 A body radiator support, but it’s not just a drop in. The opening in the radiator support is not as wide for the smaller radiators as it is for the 26”, so if you install a 26” radiator some of the radiator will be behind the shroud. It’s not very much, so when I did that swap I didn’t open the radiator shroud any. But the 26” radiator shroud opening is wider by a little more than an inch.
The 26” radiators also have wider brackets, so the radiator will not line up with the mounting holes in the radiator support if your car had a smaller radiator from the factory. The mounting holes for the 26” radiator are a few inches wider. I welded new mounts onto my radiator support when I swapped my /6 Duster over to a 26” radiator.
So a 26” radiator will fit, you don’t need to open up the radiator shroud but the factory 26” radiator supports did have a wider opening, and you will need to drill new holes to mount the 26” radiator to the support if the car was originally equipped with a smaller radiator.
