If I find any discrepancies I will post them. Right now my core is still in the truck so I can't measure everything but the truck is stripped otherwise. If anyone wants any specific measurement let me know. I'm going back out to the garage tomorrow.

looking at the parts chart, it appears that the most noticeable difference is the height of the radiator opening

iirc (and again,im just going off memory here) all 9th gen diesel trucks (92-97 idi-psd) f250-350-350c&c-f450 all use the same large rads.there was no longer a short wide rad version.be it regardless if the truck was equipped with a/c or not.....again don't take my word for it though.just seem to recall reading this to be the case is all.
