Replacement Radiator Core Support
Forgive me in advance for this question but I did not find anything to help answer my question in the search of the forums. My radiator core support in my 94 F250 is rusted out at the mounts. I have found three viable suppliers for the new support - JC Whitney, Bronco Graveyard, and LMC. I am against JC Whitney as you get what you pay for but who has the better parts BG or LMC?
I tried to find anything local but none of the junkyards that I visited today have any good (non rusted) replacement parts. Are these my only two options for this part if not who else carries the support?

doesn`t really matter...almost all the parts are made in Taiwan...some are better
Try to find out if the part has a stamped approval on it.Years ago if it was stamped approved it was the better part.The cheaper parts have some really awesome edges to cut yourself on.
When you get the part have it sandblasted and powdercoated for longevity,the p.e.t. coating is super thin and will rust in a year.

Thanks for the input. I am leaning towards LMC right now as their site is less frustrating to use than Bronco Graveyards' site.

No, this truck is just a 351 backed by a C6. The only Diesel that I own is a 1985 M1009 CUCV.
