Radiator mount?

OK......the body piece the radiator sits on and basically holds the front clip together....1/4 panels bolt to it along with the headlights and grill.....where it bolts to the frame has rusted away and needs replaced before the front end falls apart. Is that entire big piece called the Radiator mount?.....1995 F-150 I6 4x4

Looks like it is called a radiator support, spans the front end, headlights mount in it, etc.

Sorry, I just called the Ford dealer for the name, I may have described the incorrect part.
