dent rad support swap- easy

i had a good dent radiator support laying around figured i'd use it instead of doing the rust repair on my bump one. I know there are threads about this, but man it's an easy swap. only 7 holes to drill to make it fit up. two on each side for the inner fenders, two for the "L" brackets for the upper filler (for lack of a better word) panel, and one for the hood latch bracket. everything else lines up. no pics for the L, they are self explanatory when you put it up.

you have to drill two for the inners- the ones with out the bolts-


two for the latch bracket, 1st pic bump top dent bottom.

1967/72 F100/350: TWO different radiator supports // 1973/79 F100/350 with round headlamps: TWO different radiator supports.

1967/79: The radiator support used with a Super Cooling radiator has a larger opening radius.
