Do you have a picture of your radiator mounted in the truck? Curious as to what the sheet metal looks like that supports the rear mount radiator. I have a 68 250 4x4 that the PO put a 2wd core in with a 2wd radiator. Meaning it is front mount radiator versus the rear mount radiator of the 4x4. So if push comes to shove you could buy the 2wd core and remove the sheet metal from your 4x4 core support if its good Or buy a 2wd radiator to mount to your new core support.
FWIW I screwed up when I ordered a 4x4 replacement radiator not knowing I had a 2wd core support.

Yes, now I understand. So I need to make sure it is a rear mount.
Where is that rear mount rad support in your pic :-) Is that sitting somewhere waiting for a new home? :-) Having a hard time finding one.

I have only seen 2wd core supports listed. Maybe someone else knows where to find them.

A man's got a do what it takes to make it look right!
I made up some nylon large 3/8" thick washers the same size as my body mount cushions
to get my cab up to keep the inner part of the tranny hump from rubbing the 5sp o/d tranny. This was when, I was using LMC Cab mount cushions.
I since put back in oem cab mount cushions an a big thanks to one an only the Bumpster King II Jeff.
It took a while to track down all the pieces for the 4wd cushions upper & lower locking insert washers.

Jeff, I agree with orich :-)
Can you confirm that the rubber cab absorbers from page 2 are the correct ones for the 4x4? I'm going to order those and want to make sure they are for the 4x4 cab as well. Thxs
I also looked in the manual books I bought and can not find the right place where they show the bed bolting on or the cab bolting on. Where can I find a 4x4 frame to body diagram? Maybe that will solve part of the mystery.
I'm still searching for a rad support and have a couple leads I found on this link https://www.partshotlines.com/component/phl/search/
Going to make some calls tomorrow.
Thanks guys! I really appreciate my friends on this site!
