radiator support

I need a radiator support for a 1966 F100 FWD 390ci. I have found aftermarket but not for 66 FWD only 66 F250 and 1965. Anyone know what the differences are and could I retro fit the 250 or 65 support?

Welcome to FTE

Here's what the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog states:

C6TZ-16138-C .. Radiator Support

Fits: 1966 F100 4X4; 1965 F100/250 4X2

This subject has been discussed many times here on FTE. One post I read several months ago said the upper R/L core support brackets where the support bolts to the fenders, can be removed from the old and added to another support. Try using the search feature for more info.

The only V8 offered 1965/66 was the 352. The 360/390 introduced in 1968.

Doesn't the 66 4wd use the 61-64 style support?

(sigh)

Uh...no...don't think so. The 1965 F100 4WD did, but not the 1966 F100 4WD.

1966 F100 4WD = C6TZ-16138-C

1965 F100 4WD = C2TZ-16138-G

65 and 6 4wd use 61-4 2wd support...the 65 and 6 2wd supports are each to their own...radiator mounts differently which also makes the battery tray different....

I know that Tom from Flashback F-100's had a radiator support for a '66 F-100 2wd at the F-100 Nationals a few weeks ago. He's a very good source for hard to find parts. 336-421-3979, 336-213-3826C

That is NOT what the parts catalog says. I'm sorry CS65, but my 1964/72 Ford truck parts catalog is more up to date than your 1968 (only) parts catalog is.

C2TZ-16138-G = 1964 F100/250 4X2 / 1964/66 F350 / 1965 F100 4X4 / 1965/66 F250 4X4

C6TZ-16138-C = 1965 F100/250 4X2 / 1966 F100 4X4

C6TZ-16138-B = 1966 F100/250 4X2

Yes, but the 1961/66 F500's and up weren't part of the discussion, so I left them out.

C2TZ-16138-G also fits: 1961/66 F500/600

You didn't ask, but...

C2TZ-16138-H Fits 1961/66 F700/750

C4TZ-16138-A fits 1964 (thru 1969) F800/1100
