I have been going through my catalogs and online and cannot seem to find the radiator support mounts for a 4x4. I found the cab mount bushings, hardware, and sleeves, but I come up empty on the rad support. Anyone know where I can get them? The only thing I did find was from Auto Krafters but it said "F-series 2WD" and I am building a 4x4. Can someone please help me??

Thanks Buck

 

I would be surprised if the radiator mounts were different between the 2wd and 4wd trucks, but you never know. I was able to salvage most of my radiator support hardware, but I did have to buy one of the lower retainer assemblies and some new shim washers. I bought mine from "The company that shall not be named," but i'll give you a hint it starts with an L. :-)

 

cujo8,
Did you replace them on a 4x4 or 2x4?

Anyone else know anything about them. If the 4x2 would work why would they make the point of saying "2wd".

The only bushings I could find that actually stated for 4x4 was the energy suspension polyurethane bushings. As far as the core support hardware, you can still get the lower retainer, but the upper retainer is obsolete. You can always make your own though with a piece of pipe and a big washer.

 

i baught mine from JC WHITNEY years ago, complete kit as far as bushings go. (cab/core support bushings).

 

I have got mine the 2 wheel drive ones for a 4 wheel drive!

 

I just installed the whole nose,radiator,support,grill assembly,from my 79 2-wheel drive,to my 78 4-wheel drive,it all fits.
