NO!!!! Slant, Brick and OBS are all different and not interchangeable, unfortunately......

You will have to find a diesel brick support for an 89, unless you are going to do the whole clip swap, and put an OBS clip on the 89.

I figure this is for the PSD swap truck, so for it, you will need an 87-91 Brick diesel core support.........

Agreed. You can do a lower barrel swap if you can cut and weld, using a gasser engine core support as your part, but it is much easier if you can find one from a diesel.

You do have that latest POS you got.
I don't have anything to offer really, but I can say I can never criticize you for any question you might ask. Lol
