Radiator Support

So I recently bought a 1997 F-250HD which is still the older style body and is basically a 1996 for all intents and purposes. The front radiator support is pretty much shot and wanted to know if anyone knows of a good write up and a website to buy a new rad support without getting bent over.


Thanks in advance,
Lee

There's a good write up on FullsizeBronco. There's probably one here too (I just don't know it off the top of my head).


Buy an aftermarket one online for $150-$200. Paint the living **** out of it (if you know anyone that works for a galvanizing facility it's definitely a favor worth asking).
