1967/72 F100/350: There are TWO different radiator supports.
One was used with the Standard/Xtra Cooling/A/C radiators, that measure 26 1/4" wide x 19 3/4" high.
The other support has a larger opening radius, as it was only used with the Super Cooling radiator, that measures 26 1/4" wide x 24 13/16" high.

Most guys use the later 73-79 rad core support just a few little mods to do for the hood latch bracket. One or two inner bolt holes for the grille bracket.
The later ones seem to be in greater supply then the 60/70's bumps.

Same thing that applies to 1967/72's (with/without Super Cooling radiator), also applies to these as well.
The Super Cooling radiator has a HUGE top tank, it's wider and deeper than the other radiators.

Ah yes forgot about square head lights.
So safe to say the 73-76 for sure will work. But look one over that it has the same front or rear radiator mountings and the rad width opening is same as yours.

1978/79's with rectangular headlamps use a different radiator support: D8TZ-16138-A
It's the same for all radiators.

Don't think so:~~~~ but if you want to be the test pilot guy
The round lights buckets may not mount into the square 78-79 light bucket.

I have a square bucket 79 rad support in my 68, I don't know how the lights mount on a 71 but I've used a 78-79 rad support on a 76, the buckets bolted right up
