Any differences in radiator support between '87-96?

Any differences in radiator support between '87-96?

The one in my truck is a bit rotted at the bottom, so I want to look for another one...but first I'd like to know if I can use any from '87-96? Or only '92-96 specifically?

I want to say that they are different, but I can't remember for sure.

Oh, while I'm at it...the springs on the hood hinges are so weak they barely hold the hood open. Is there a fix for this?

A quick measurement will tell ya, measure how tall the rad. is and how far apart the mounts are. IF they are the same just use the rubbers from the radiator you are going to use, number of cores relates to the rubber size.

New springs should fix the hood issue and or pound down the hinge rivets a little so they help hold some. Don't go to far though!

They r different have different mount positions for fenders the 87-92 that is. the mounts for frame is in same spots. So its 92 up to 97 for part you need .
As for hinges/springes 87-96 have same number in my parts book . Good luck
