Need a Radiator

Core support is 65 and in nice condition. I do not want to cut it up making one fit. I hear the 73-77 will fit but which one will be a bolt in? Will the rad brackets need to be reversed? Are small mods needed to make one fit? Engine is 390 with manual shift. Thanks.

6 or V8? 2wd or 4wd? Needs to be same as your application. Not sure if 65 is same as a dent, doubt it though.

I-6 radiators different than V8 radiators.

1966/79 radiators will interchange (except 1967/79 Super Cooling radiators), but have their mounting flanges in a different location than 1965 radiators.

1965 F100/250 2WD & 1966 F100 4WD radiator support is the same. But it's not the same as any other year/model radiator support.

i have a 65 core support on my 66 2x4 with 390 and the radiator out of a 76 because the core support I had is just like the one in my dads 4x4 the radiator set inside the mounts in stead of being flush mounted to the radiator
