radiator support interchange
#1
#2
#4
Last year I helped replace a radiator support on a '76 F150 390 4x4 and the 'new' one was different (not sure what 73-77 it came off of). The mounting for the radiator was different. The '76 support had a 2" flange for the radiator to mount to (appeared factory) - moving the radiator 2" closer to the engine. So we had to drill out the spot welds and weld this 2" flange to the 'new' support for the rad and shroud to line up correctly. All worked well and appeared factory when done - just took some extra time.
Might be due to different engine or radiator options, I'm not sure.
