93 f150 radiator support interchanged (1989) f150
I've heard this can be done but i cant find anything on it so i'm looking for anyone with experience in this. i'm looking to swap a clean radiator support from a 1989 f150 (bricknose front end) into a 93 f150 i'm not quite sure it can be done, I've heard people say it can but requires modifications and i can't find any

I recently converted my 95 bronco to 84 front clip. The radiator supports are very similar, and you could modify your 89 one to work with the 93.
If you look at my picture, you will see that the ends of the support where the headlights mount are shaped different. You could cut those off your 93, and weld them onto the 89 support and make it work. I also had to drill a few holes, and transfer over the lower radiator mounting brackets for my swap (I used the 95 radiator with the 84 support).
84 on top, 95 on bottom
These are the lower radiator mounting brackets I had to transfer. They were spot welded on.
