I am missing something on my ol farm truck, it appears the radiator in my truck is from a Tbird, Im wanting to install the original style of radiator and there is no way to bolt it to the core. I must be missing some side brackets that bolt to the core support. Anyone have a part number or pics so I can fabricate some

 

C2TZ-16138-G .. Radiator Support / Reproduced

1961/64 F100/250 2WD/4WD & F350/600; 1965 F100/250 4WD; 1965/66 F350/600; 1966 F250 4WD

Radiators have a brass plate soldered (usually) to the top tank. Have an ID number stamped on them. If you find it, post what the number is.

All 1955/79 and some 1980/97 T-Birds came with V8's, but there's a gazillion different radiators.

1961/66 T-Bird radiators do not have a radiator cap. Have a surge tank with the cap on it, it bolts to the intake manifold, then a short hose fits between the surge tank and the radiator.

 

Here is the core support and radiator that are currently in the truck. This was an old farm truck and they have done many weird things to it. LOL


coore support missing radiator mount brackets



existing radiator in the truck

 

Late model 'cross flow' radiator with electric cooling fan.

Trucks: The mounting flanges are located on the radiator, not on the radiator support.

The C2TZ-16138-G support was used with myriad I-6 & V8 radiators.

 

yes it appears to be a fox body 5.0 mustang radiator that is in the truck now. the electric fan was installed because the belt driven fan was bent on the motor that was in the truck.

 

This is why I need dimensions of the stand offs on the radiator core that mount the radiator to the truck

 

Why are you hung up on the original style mounts? The original rad had top and bottom tanks, the rad you have now has left & right tanks, so little chance of making the original mounts work.
Having owned FIVE Fox cars since 1983, I know what the rad mounts look like

Here are a couple pics....

Aftermarket Alum Rad using stock style mounts





Here are the brackets/rubbers, ignore the alum piece at the bottom, it's not OEM. The two rubbers on the left (which are shown bottom side up in the pic) go under the rad, on the Foxbody, they would be located & held in place by raised portions in the stamping of the core support, plus there is a "nub" on the rubber that gets pushed into a hole in the core support.
The two rubbers on the right of the pic fit into the two brackets shown, and are bolted to the top of the Foxbodycore support.
You may need to do a bit of fabrication to have a resting place for the lower rubbers, and will also need to improvise a way to mount the uppers, but nothing insurmountable......

 

Here ya go 64 Hope it helps


core support/front clip

 

maybe because I have a brand new 3 core alum 61 F100 radiator with trans cooler I am going to use. I also can not use the classic air system with the Fox radiator in it. I can also modify the CV fan shroud to easily fit the F100 radiator. So I need to rebuild the factory mounts to make it all work.

 

Thanks no I see how it looks and I got dimensions from another forum of 3.5" from core support to radiator mount

 

Brian: My apologies, when I go back & read post # 1, the answer was right there.....I just didn't see it

There is a fellow in Sacramento that has a yard full of stuff, if you go on CL Sacramento, choose category auto parts and search for F100, you'll find his ads. I expect he will have what you seek. I would have sent you info in a PM, but see no way to do that from your profile?

No Problem Brother, its all good, from every post there is something that can help someone down the road.

 

well we got it done today, first aligned the evaporator core and dryer. then made sure the 3.5" dimension I had gotten was right. I took apart a thrasher to salvage the metal to make the supports, I figured farm tool reuse on a farm truck was fitting. everything worked out well radiator installed and all is good. Thanks all
