WHERE DOES THIS GO

I have a 1966 FORD F-100 that I took apart over twenty years ago and can’t find the place for this part.

20 years will do that that's for sure. It appears to me it holds your radiator in place. I cannot tell you if it is the top or the bottom but I can maybe take a look at my parts truck this week and get back to you

those radiator brackets are for a cross flow radiator, not off a '66.

66 FORD F100
Hay RangerMercMan thank you so much. Ya, I kinda think it was on the bottom but I don’t remember what it fastened to but EricJ said it was for a cross-flow and I had at least two in in a couple of my Chevy’s. Okay yeah that is right, silly me. So I guess it is twenty-year-old trash. Now, that arm thing, with the nuts welded to it, I’m thinking it goes by the clutch but it may be left over from something else as well. Now EricJ and RangerMercMan, does the 66 FORD F100 have a shrouding in the engine compartment? Hey thanks so much I really appreciate the help. And hay, you have a good day.

I've never seen these brackets on any 1965/66, so they're not clutch related.

Fan shrouds were not offered for these trucks (except F350's with DRW), but there is a shroud that will bolt on without any mods.

1968/76 F100/350 360/390 without the Super Cooling radiator.

I did not realize you had two different parts there. As far goes the part that has the 3 nuts welded to it my first impression is actually a bumper support that goes from the frame rail horn out to the corner of the bumper and also would not be off of a slick era truck in my opinion
