Radiator Support

Does anyone have a picture of a radiator support out of a 1992-1996 Diesel. If not how about a picture of how the radiator mounts up to the core support?

I own a 85 f-250 diesel and hope to install a 92-96 front clip on it but want to do some research to find out what needs to be changed. Thanks

OK, I have to ask... WHY? IIRC an '85 would have sealed beam headlights, the plastic headlights in my '93 suck and what's worse is when I'm driving my car I can always identify a similar year truck because it's the one that's blinding me with all the glare from the headlights.

OK, I can respect that, but still... I'd do a lot to get rid of those awful headlights and have the ability to swap in some E-codes. Now if you are near me and think it'd work, I've got a '93 F-150 with a 300 and if that clip would work for you c'mon over and let's swap.

no, I have no idea if it'd work or not, I was just saying that I'd be open to do the swap the other way (older clip on newer truck.) I'm only, oh, about 500 miles from you tho so might not be practical...
