Radiator Support Replacement
My radiator support broke at the mount to the frame. It was the last remaining rust issue I had. I looked under Teck Info and searched this section for replacement info. Is there a definitive How to on here? Yes, I have my Haynes. Who currently manufactures the best replacement? I will probably do something else in the meantime to temporarily get through deer season more or less safely.

There's a few more on here. I purchased mine from eBay, at the time it was less expensive then Rock Auto.

I've watched lots or videos and read some parts reviews, folks wine about quality. I am more or less wondering which the community thinks is best. I would pay a little more for a thicker steel/better fitment. Look at all this "free" money I can put it to it by replacing it myself.

I bought mine at rockauto.com.....https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...k=686403&jsn=1
I wonder how much money they are missing by not listing it for 92-96 F150s and if it really fits a 97 F150

I know each person on a forum is a single person and it is hard for a single person to compare/contrast 1 time only parts like this. Anyone have any info on what brands not to buy? I’m looking at a comment of the EVAN FISHER on Amazon and they guy noted he would have gladly paid more for higher quality. That’s what sparked this.

Why not go to the junkyard an pull a Ford original in good condition? Way cheaper than the new + shipping AND no question about quality. Just my $0.02

Because depending if you live on or near the snowbelt states, those junkyard rad supports are going to be rusty as well if not banged up....

CamoF-250, I got mine from JBG a couple weeks ago. The shop said they had to grind a small section down to make room for the radiator. I believe a bracket was a little off?
