lower radiator support bushing

Probably not the correct name for it it but basically a U shaped piece of rubber that the bottom of the radiator sets in on each side, truck is a 92 F150.
Anyone know where I can find replacements other than a junk yard?

Is that going to fit? It says that fits Chevy/GMC.

LMC Truck & Bronco Graveyard have them but it shows only up to 1984 or somewhere around that year. I think the last time I needed one I used one from the junkyard that was in better condition than what I had.

Thanks for the reply, comparing the old one to the Dorman part I don't think it will work

I use a cut up inner tube in place of that bushing. Add layers of inner tube till its sung fit. Over 5 years and its still working with no issues.

so yours are these? Unfortunately it sounds like they are unobtanium OEM. The tire tube idea might be wise
What do your current ones look like?

Yes that's it, one of them is totally gone, other is decent shape, hopefully I'll get lucky at the junkyard
Tire tube sounds like a good plan B. thanks!

You can find those laying on the ground at the junkyards I visit
Good luck with the search
If you improvise (which I would not yet)
You could use mountain bile tire rubber and wrap that with inner tube
Would look like hell but work
I'd search the town down for some good ones first
