The dreaded radiator core support question

Ok...I have read many threads on this topic and I am sure everyone is well aware of the amount of times similiar questions have been asked, however, I could not find any info on the differences between a 1966 2wd f100 and a 1966 4wd f100 radiator core support. The question is as follows: What has to be done to make a 1966 F100 2wd radiator core support fit a 1966 F100 4wd ?

I am pretty certain that a recent thread declared they were the same.

Post comments where Bill (NumberDummy) corrected me in clarifying the radiator support application. ** Is there a particular location where I can find the casting/Part Number, I have a rad support collecting dust, believe it's off a 65 F100?

C2TZ-16138-G .. Radiator Support: 1961/64 F100/250 2WD/4WD; 1961/66 F350/600; 1965 F100/250 4WD; 1966 F250 4WD

C6TZ-16138-B .. Radiator Support: 1966 F100/250 2WD

C6TZ-16138-C .. Radiator Support: 1965 F100/250 2WD; 1966 F100 4WD

1966 f100 radiator support HELP!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I've been reading and obviously this is an issue. I need a replacement radiator support for my 66 f100 2wd. I don't mind doing some modifications to the radiator mounts and battery tray. Which support will work? Which year support should I buy? Lmc has the 61-64 support for a f100 2wd will that mount up to the frame correctly? If I have to make some mods to the fender mounts that's ok. I'm just confused on which to buy. Any help is greatly appreciated.
