I6 Core Support Swap Compatability
Hey guys, my 89 f250 was recently in an accident and I'm rebuilding it to a bullnose, I have the opportunity to score a bullnose inline 6 parts truck for $300, I wanted to know if the inline 6 core support is workable for my 460, I've heard about different openings on these trucks and want to know if it's acceptable for my use. I know people don't like the bullnose swap, but it is cheap and nearby so I figured why not. Have the bed swapped and everything else ready to go, is this ok? Thanks for all your help!

You will have to check the radiator opening as you said. You might have to modify some things to make it fit. I was going to say the glass headlight support will not work with the plastic headlights of the 89, but I forgot you are bringing the glass headlights over when you do the swap. Of course you will have to cut the modern 89 headlight plug off and use the early glass headlight plug ins. And also cut and splice the front markers into the 89 wiring.
