1973 highboy radiator support!!!CHEAP!!!

All,
I rolled the dice and ordered a $60.99 radiator support to fit my 73 Ford Highboy. That $60.99 included the freight to my door. The thing weighs 37.2 lbs. it showed up in great shape with just one tab bent. Quickly hammered it back into place and looks perfect. Initial Inspection looks to be a nice repro. All the bolt holes are there and looks good. I had a lead on a OEM Ford but it was $800 plus tax and freight. I think for the $60.99 delivered it will work just fine! It was from a close out that NPD is having. If you order it from the regular NPD web site it is $487 delivered. https://www.nationalpartsdepot.com/c...2326-9109.html. Only have 6 left. They bought a warehouse building and this was some of the inventory in the building. It is TKY piece. Once they are gone they are gone.

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

The support used with the Super Cooling radiator has a larger opening radius.

Sorry Anthony, it was a warehouse they bought and had this merchandise in it. I posted the website they where at. When they are gone they are gone at that price. It was a fast sell after I posted here. I could not believe they where that cheap and shipping was affordable also. One of my best finds that is for sure.

Was yours a NOS (new old stock) as in never installed before? Used stuff is not NOS, period. Yes $800 for the piece. I hated the thought of using after market but at the price could not pass on it. I am at least lucky to have NOS doors, hinges and fends for the project.
