Well a little while ago I had an car accident with my truck and now I'm getting around to fixing it. I need a bunch of parts but I know the hard one is a new rad support. I got a new Jeff's bronco graveyard catalog and it has a core support for a 92-94 diesel. But I was always under the impression that there are no diesel supports:dunno:dunno

yea 450 bucks and then 150 for shipping is alittle to much for me. I'd build one from scratch before spending 600 bucks for a used one.

shipping is still going to broadside him. I brought four supports with me to the MI rally in 2012. sold all under 5 mins.

take a look to see if you would consider my old one worthy of repair.i think it's well worth the effort but you might not;

you could drive up with a small car (needs to have seats that fold down from trunk like my little honda does so it will fit) cheaper than shipping it to ya.few hour drive though.............but this is a perfect time of year to visit Maine anyway!;Sweet

here it is.you can see i burned out the sides a touch for intercooler piping but that doesn't hurt of course.whats nasty is where the mounts go.the upper is a bit rusty but the main loop is good save for the mounts.it's repairable but i dunno if it's worthwhile to you.iv no clue what a welder/fabricator would charge to make new mounts.
i was surprised to see it was still as good as it is.i expected much worse based on what i could see of it in the truck.maybe this is worse than what you already got? if so,id really just fix yours cus i think this one would be worthwhile since they are obsolete and so expensive....outside of the west/south.

It's repairable, you can see what I did with mine in my build. Not super pretty but the rebuild on bottom was done with 1/8 thick 2 x 4 metal.
