Is it a F350 your looking for? Aren't 73 to 79 basicly all the same except for minor differences for the headlight bolt pattern? 73 to 77 the same and 78 79 the same. I have one from 79 I'm getting rid of.

There are some differences with the radiator opening sizes and how the radiator mounts such as front flange or rear flange.

Yeah, I forgot about that, a 300 six opening is smaller than say a 400 motor radiator.

What size engine do you have?

1973/78 F100/350 with round headlamps.

D3TZ-16138-D .. Radiator Support-Use without Super Cooling Radiator

D3TZ-16138-B .. Radiator Support-Use with Super Cooling Radiator-28 1/2" between radiator mounting holes.

Super Cooling radiator = the top tank is over 5" wide.

The only dif between these two supports is the radiator opening. The non S/C/R support can be trimmed to fit the S/Cooling radiator.

The 1978/79 support used with rectangular headlamps is dished in behind the lamps, to allow for the buckets to fit.

Some ppl here say the 1968/72 support will work on 1973's and later, but that info isn't in the parts catalog.

D3TZ-16138-B = Found one brand new, old stock original > >

Freese Motors in Montecello, Iowa shows one.
--------------------------------------------
EDIT:

Just found the other one: :-)

D3TZ-16138-D = NEW, OLD STOCK original > >

greensalescompany.com shows one: 800-543-4959

Remove the hyphens if typing the p/n into the website.

I had to leave them in, otherwise a *^#%(^ smilie face appears like this >
