1987 F150 Radiator Core Support Confirmation

Gotta replace the radiator core support on my 87 F150 4.9l 4x4 and need to confirm whether or not he support from an 87 F350 will work. Can anyone confirm this for me? I found an 87 F350 front clip that I can get for $150 that supposedly has a solid support in it. Thought I could take the support and sell the fenders, hood, bumper, etc.

Also been reading some threads about the bushings and hardware. Where is the best place to get these items?

Thanks,

Chris

Same radiator support.

There's only a big nut /washer to come off to remove the support. Your bushings bad?

Yes. the diesel w a/c has a much deeper radiator. I dont have all the specifics. But Ford almost gave no rhyme or reason on putting the big radiator in these trucks. But I know diesel a/c got the big radiator, maybe the tow pkg also got it
