Radiator support compatability

My rad support is rotted out and I will be looking for a rust free one at the wreckers this week which I understand may be hard to find. My truck is a 90 model so an 87-91 will be ideal. However, will an 80-86 or a 92-96 rad support work. Any other issues I could run into. Seems pretty straightforward- remove the fan, belt, radiator, headlights, fenders and take it out

No, you will need a 87-91 rad support. 80-86 and 92-96 are different.


No need to remove the fan.

Just unbolt the fenders from it, light assemblies, any attached wiring, fan shroud and Rad, then unbolt the 2 big bolts from the top, and pull out.

Gonna get going on that soon this summer.

And haven't been making many vids anymore, since I have a new HD camera, windows movie maker doesn't work to well with HD, the motion doesn't follow the sound, and I don't know what program to get that I'd understand and work well with. I'm pretty computer stupid.

I assume that the core support would be the same for F250s, 350s Broncos etc for that time period
