I need to replace the core (radiator) support in my 83 F350 with a 6.9. I haven't been able to locate a new one.
Does anyone know where to buy one?
Two possible radiator supports for 1983 F350 6.9L =
E3TZ-16138-F .. Radiator Support-Diesel with Xtra or Super Cooling Radiators / 25 5/8" x 31 1/8" opening radius / Obsolete
1983/86 F250/350 / Last MSRP: $675.15 ~ Dealer net cost: $405.09.
No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

thanks for the replies, i was hoping for a new one, so thanks number dummy ill give them a call if not i will have to get a good used one mine is junk, below rad gone drivers side mount gone,
what is the diffrence between the gas and diesel ones? just a bigger opening for the rad?
On a gas support, the bar under the radiator goes straight across. On a diesel, it dips almost to the bottom of the frame. Now, there are some diesel supports in that year range that were on non-a/c or dealer add-on a/c that were pretty much like a gas support. The trade off is that the radiators can be hard to find. They were very uncommon.

It may have not been made clear enough in the previous post. There were two types of radiators for the diesels, a very tall narrow one and a wide one. You need to see which one you have, so you can get the right core support. Most of them I have seen are the very tall units.
William, in numberdummy's first post he had the dimensions of the opening in the center of the core support. If it matches those dimensions it's the first one he listed, if not it's the second one.
