radiator core (which one?)

Does radiator core support for 73-79 F-Series offered by LMC and NPD accept both rectangular and round head lamps. LMC does not specify but other aftermarket parts dealers like NPD have the wording for round head lamps. Mine are square. will it work. Anyone ever been done this road before. My guess would be that they are the same in regards to lamps. I do have the 27-1/2" opening for the oversize radiator I can see the difference on that issue. I looked at the pic in the NPD catalog and it looks just like mine, but the photos can sometimes be incorrect. The LMC photo is totally way off.

as far as I know, they are the same and just the headlight buckets and surrounds are different. How much is a core support? I've got one I need to try to sell.

lmc wants $129.95 and NPD wants $149.95. I'm sure there is also a hefty oversize shipping fee. Mine is slightly bent on front left due to fender bender and I cant get my left fender to mate all the way. I tried bending it back but I'm no body guy. I made it worse.

Try to get another from the Junkyard. It will be way better than the LMC ****.

I got one from a swapmeet for $20. So I would list yours for $40 OBO

The radiator mounts can be different. I don't know about the head lights but make sure you get the right one for your style of radiator.

I can get pix, but I'm not gonna ship this thing, sorry. I may just have it blasted, paint it and store it if it's only worth $40.
