a radiator core support for diesels!

it says new so i wasn't sure if anybody had seen it yet or of anybody has tried one yet, i wonder if it's any good? I need a core support for my upcoming project...

Devoted thread worthy anyway.Gunna try one and let us know how they are?

i just might, except for one problem, my upcoming project is an 89, so I'm not sure i can use that support, but if it would work with just a bit of coercing id be happy to do that, I'm not opposed to customizing a part to make it fit as long as its not super crazy

or i could try to find an obs truck to steal the nose from, i like that nose better anyway then i could use that, I'm sure whatever truck i steal the nose from the core support would be toast anyway

For those don't know......

Core supports are body style dependent..... just like the pedal boxes.....

are they 100% incompatible, or can they be made to work?

also i just actually just learned that about the pedals today, trying to find brake and clutch pedals for a buddy's 93

 

[snicklas]

Not sure about make them work, but they are not bolt-on compatible......

I know when members have done a "face lift" such as @towcat, everything gets swapped, bumper, core support, fenders, hood, lights, grille, and cowl.........

is it just the headlights and stuff that won't bolt up?

i did see it, was just looking for clarification, will nothing bolt up, or just certain things not bolt up?

K just wanted to make sure. I could be wrong about this... But I believe pretty much the only thing that is going to bolt up would be where the support actually bolts in... Other than that you're looking at majority of stuff changing over to the OBS (which is better anyway [emoji41]) but a big plus if you do go that route is that you'll get to use the tall skinny radiator instead of the short fat!

so it would bolt in to the fenders and be in place just fine, but the headlights and stuff wont work, ok maybe i will look at my dads truck so i can see how the headlights bolt in(his is OBS) i am curious if i could modify that to accept the brick headlights.

my truck already has the tall skinny radiator but my core support wont survive being pulled from the truck again, and the winter project is converting a 460 truck thats identical to mine but in much better shape to diesel so i have to figure something out for a core support, i think i will start looking for an OBS truck for cheap that has a decent front clip on it to put on the project truck
