According to Hollander Interchange Manual 65 F100 4X2 rad. support and 66 F100 4X4 are interchangeable. Further, the 65 F100 4X4 and 66 F250 4X4 rad supports are interchangeable. Unfortunately, do not have part #'s. Feel need to add disclaimer, from personal experience working on these rides, there are exceptions. Have 2 65 F100 4X2 each having different type supports. If you have the original support may try finding part# and check w/ LMC, they should be able to cross reference w/ their number. If decide to purchase, suggest inquire into exchange policy, most suppliers will require customer obsorb shipping cost on returns. May be able to determine by inner fender design where it attaches to rad. support, 1 type less squared off than the other. Sorry for poor description. Good luck,

Guys, please use the search function. This topic has been covered about 2 million times. 
Cliffs Notes version:
61-64 are the same
4x4 are the same throughout the years 61-66 (essentially are a 61-64 2wd)
65 is unique
66 is unique
65-66 are different because the shape of the inner fenders went from rounded to square
65 has a unique set of radiator mounting brackets
You can make a 61-64 version work, if you chop and weld the necessary fenderwell and radiator brackets to the new support. It is very unlikely you will see repros for 65-66 made as they would require more tooling for one-year coverage. So you'll have to work with what is available.

Thank you sir. I searched this item last week and did not find as much info as you just listed. Maybe the force is not strong with me!
