Radiator Support Mounts

I am going to replaced my rusted radiator support soon, and I would also like to replace the metal mounts that are attached to the frame. I can't find anything online the looks like it is the same. My mounts are welded to the frame, and there are no bolt or rivet holes. Here is a picture of mine:

And here is the ones that Bronco Graveyard says will work:



I don't think it would bolt up very well since the mounts are on the crumple zone. Can anyone help me find the right ones?

Did some more research on another forum, looks like 1992-1996 f150s and broncos had this style, and f250s/350s had the other style because they did't have the crumple zone. My 4 door bronco is based on a 1995 F150.

Number Dummy or anyone have a part number for the one I need?

Uh huh...

F2TZ-5A041-A (replaced EOTZ-5A041-A) .. Bracket-Frame to Body Front / Available from Ford.

1980/91 F100/350 & Bronco / 1988/97 F(Super Duty) / 1992/96 F250/350 / 1997 F250 H/D & F350.

Pic: Looks like the original FoMoCo part number sticker with EO (first two digits of the original part number prefix) visible.

But (and this is nothing new ), Bronco Graveyard has the wrong applications. This bracket was not used on 1992/96 F150 or Bronco.

There's no part number for this bracket for 1992/96 F150/Bronco, because the bracket was only available with the frame.

Thanks for the info Number Dummy, I guess I'll have to try to repair mine, or maybe find some good ones in a junkyard I can cut off

i wonder if you could cut out a slot, with a torch, up the center of the hd mount, enough to clear that one crumple zone ridge.id try it.

They are not available separate due to the fact they are welded to the frame

Just buy the mounts for the 80-97 trucks and modify them to work.
