1995 Radiator replacement

Daughter drove my 1995 F150 (actually her car to drive) into the concrete base of light pole. Took out the bumper, grill, radiator, AC condenser and some other parts. The radiator drain was dripping after I got it all put together - loosened it and retightened it only making it worse. Can you get a replacement plug (plastic) for a radiator? Hoping I don't have to pull it apart and replace the radiator again.

Not sure as I never had the need to look for one.
I would say hit the local parts stores, more to the NAPA if you can, and see what they have to say as Dorman may have something but it may be just a replacement and if the threads were pulled out of the radiator a new plug may not work.
Might also check Rock Auto for the plug and what a radiator will run.
If it has to be changed out have her do it and you "guide" her so she knows just what it takes to do that job
