Core supports

[gangstakr]

How many different core supports are there for the 61-66?
How do you tell the difference?
Will core supports for the f100 2wd fit 4wd?
What's interchangeable?

I thought there were only 2 styles, 4x2 and 4x4. They aren't interchangable as far as I remember. With that said, DC has a picture of one in their catalog for you to compare, it's for a 4x2 model though.

I know the ones for the 65-66 2wd has different brackets for the inner fenders. To my knowledge they don't repop 65-66 yet, but you can take and weld the brackets from the old one on there.

I have used a 2wd core support on my 66 F100 4x4, there were small differances, but overcomable. I did go back to the 4x4 core support after it was repaired.

Dang it I misread your original post thinking 61-64.

Just so people wont be confused, F100 = 1/2 ton truck

F250 = 3/4 ton truck

So then 350 on up are a different animal? Does any core supports from the 61-66 f100-f250 fit a 350 on up?
I noticed on a 350 that the main bolts bolting to the frame were spring loaded what's this purpose? are these hard to come buy?

LOL...1961 thru 1966 F350 thru F600 use the C2TZ16138G

Gangstakr: No offense meant, but you obviously didn't use the search function.

I've typed the core support info over 50 times on FTE just for 1961/66's...listing all the part numbers and applications.

[camperspecial65]

is there a way that some of the more popular Q and A can be put at the top of the list ...like a sticky and just stay there permanent ???
The core support would be a prime example of a question to be put there.
