I need a radiator support, cant find one...?

[Optikalillushun]

I need a rust free radiator support for my truck but i cant find one aftermarket...im pretty sure i have the ******* tall n narrow rad (which ever is the odd-ball).

HELP!

They don't make them in the aftermarket world.
Them southern guys got em but shipping g is gonna be ugly.

How is the bottom barrel of the core support?
If its still good it can be grafted onto a new gasser support if ya have the tools and skills.

Mine is rotted bad around the mounts but the upper part is good. Any help? Thread rob over.

What year truck?

the 92-97 no one other than FORD makes em. And sit down when you get quoted. the are $711 list. Aftermaket shows a listing for them, but when you get it, it is for a gasser

the 87 91 NDP and i believe LMC sells them aftermarket for about 199

The 83-86 no one makes them at all

On my 91 was bad down by the mounts and cut out the bad and rebuilt it. Turned out great. Just a thought. You might try to graph 2 together to make 1

Is this something that could be easily fabricated?

A little steel, some cutting & welding?

What year are you looking for? I've got a bunch of 87-91 supports that are about to be pulled from a few trucks that are being cut up for other projects.

One thought I've had in this regard, if push came to shove and I needed one for one of my slant noses, I may opt instead to get a tilt front end from usbodysource.com They have them for all 3 body styles. You would just fab up a bracket to hold your radiator on the frame, then your headlights would just go in the body. You would have to relocate your batteries, but the up side is you would never have to worry about fender rust again.

88 f-350. both parts by the body mounts are shot (driver side has the gangsta lean 1 1/2")

I sold a core support to a guy once for $100. Nievely, I said that would include shipping. I paid $125 to ship it UPS! Am I a nice guy or what?
