So....

Looks like no one makes a 1966 2wd f100 radiator support?

Looked at LMC and they had nothing. Some forum threads show this as well.

Anyone know if I can modify a 65, or 4wd, or f250 support? How much work would that be?

Is there a different path to go down?

Thanks

Jonathan

Again welcome to FTE!

 

Several years ago, someone said that LMC had repro'd the C6TZ-16138-B 1966 F100/250 2WD radiator support.

But I've never seen any proof of this, as no one has posted a link to LMC's catalog and I'm not looking, because every time I do, I get p!ssed off due to LMC's WRONG and misleading info.

 

the 66 2WD is not reproduced by anyone . You can find a better used one but that may take some time and you will pay a premium price for it , you can do like I did and rebuild the one you have which is time consuming and frustrating , you can also get a used 65 and either use the 65 radiator or modify it to use the 66 radiator ( only major difference as the use the same inner fenders . you can also get the 61-64 support and remove the rounded inner fender mounting points and install the ones off a 66 and modify the radiator area on that one as well ...... all options are a lot of work .
Looking back on the work it took to repair my support on my 66 i would seek out a used one in better condition or pay someone to repair it .

 

Thanks all

61 - 66 may need some fabrication
