Radiator swap
Hi All,

I have a 1987 F250 with the 6.9L diesel. It threw the fan through the radiator the other day. Having trouble finding one. Local guy has one out of a 1988 F350, anyone know if these are interchangeable? Mine is the 31 inch wide with tranny cooler.
Thanks for any help.

It seems like the mounting changed between the 86 and 87, but I could be wrong.

Just in case someone else has same problem, they do swap. The 1988 F350 radiator is perfect match to the 1978 F250. Thanks for the help!
