Radiator Core Support help and source
Hello all
I am having issues in locating a radiator core support for my 1970 F250 4x4.
The original one is pretty trashed but may be salvageable but I would rather find a different one. My understanding is that 2wd and 4wd ones aren’t the same as the frame widths were different meaning the mounting bracket locations are in different areas.
I was told that 73-79 ones would work but require some drilling for holes to align up.
I have found a couple places that sell the reproduction ones but they are for the 2wd models.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.
Thank you

Here you go as you need a C7TZ-16138-B which is the 2wd Super Cooling/4wd F-100/250 support:

C7TZ-16138-B = F350, F100/250 4X2 with Super Cool, and F100/250 4X4 took the other.
I only saw one listed on DC's web site. And it's not available.

Super Cooling radiator support has a larger opening radius, because the Super Cooling radiator is higher (approx. 24 1/8") than the standard, extra cooling and A/C radiators (approx. 19 3/4").
Super Cooling radiator has a HUGE top tank, it's wider and deeper than the other radiators.
This is why you need to get a copy of the Master Parts Catalog (MPC) from places like Hi-Po Parts.
