Wanted: 87-91 Core support

[Optikalillushun]

Had my truck on the lift at work on saturday and my core support is smoked. i need one that has one in good shape (no rust, color doesnt matter) i would be greatful. it is a 88 F-350 with a 7.3, ZF 5 speed and A/C. no one lists one in any of the books or online i think i have the odd ball radiator size.

maybe if someone from eastern pa that is going to the rally could bring one up here i will be forever greatful and will pay whatever ya want to bring it back home so i can pick it up. i could paypal the seller and give the person who brings it up cash for fuel or whatever.

I have one from a '86, but I don't think it'll help you at all. I can see what I can find, but I'm on the West Coast...

I've almost got the one of my 88 F250 zf5, We will not be going to the rally an or Idle Wild for memorial day. But i could work something out for ya? I'll get pictures today. PM some info? These are a little dark but here is what it looks like. what size are the bolts that mount to the frame?

I've got one that you're welcome to have if you have any way of getting it. I'm in Arkansas right on I-40 ( and could meet someone coming up I30 as well ). If anyone is going through this way to the ralley , maybe they could pick it up and take it there and someone else could take it from the ralley to PA ?

LMC sells one for a 87-91 diesel w/o a/c for $189

Shipping on those will not be cheap though. I sent one to somebody once and took a bath on the shipping. It ended up costing me money to give it to them. BOOB express is the way to go. If somebody can get it to me, I can get it to anthracite country. I'm thinking we are getting some from CA via IcanFixAll, but not sure you can wait until mid July. It IS possible to repair them as I learned in doing the Night Moose, but you need a Mig welder, some skill and patience.

I believe there were a few folks who had some problems a while back with those not really fitting the diesels and having to send them back. There are a few threads on that around here somewhere.

I'll be busting my butt getting ready for the rally that weekend I suspect.

Sad, but yup.

Either gotta find a good used one or rebuild the old one with a new gasser top half.

I may have one but I'm not sure... Reason is that it's off of an 84 but - it was one of those conversions with a newer front end. I know that it was a diesel at one time (although it had been converted to a gasser). I bought it to attempt to replace the one on my 84 but have no idea if it would work. I compared it closely with the one on the truck and they are different. The first easy to spot difference is the depth of the "groove" for the battery cable. The spare one I have is much deeper than the original on the '84.

The spare does have a previous repair that looks like a 6 or 7 out of 10 (in my opinion they could have done a better job). I'll be happy to take pictures so you can see if it would work for you. Better still, I'm in MD so not too terribly far from you? I could maybe meet Mel at a "Jimmy-cone-type" outing

I still do need one for my '84 but, for all I know, the extra one I have won't even work for my truck.

Let me know.

hell id give you the one off my 89 f250 if you wanted it. it was cut on top before and they welded it back with rebarb. its in good shape. im in wv. if you want id give you the whole frt clip off the trk. i dont want it.

 

[Optikalillushun]

wow guys, thanx. im in no hurry for it. its been repaired several times from the looks of it.

i seen those LMC ones but as said they dont fit that well. finding one here in coal country is like unobtainium.

i dont care if i have to pick it up even in maryland, i have the time haha.

mudkicker, thats an awsome offer. but, sadly, haha i dont have room for a front clip...

diesel fly, dont sweat it maybe someone here can hook u up as well.

h2dox, i dont wanna burdon anyone if i can help it by arranging shipping. thanx for the offer though.

i think i addressed everyone. if not ill check again tomorrow.

 

[Optikalillushun]

bumping this, anyone have a good clean one? maybe if someone from PA can bring it along i can pick it up there. no luck locally finding one. i can paypal the cash to the seller so no one gets burned. will pay someone from NE or SE pa to bring it with them to thier house so i can pick it up as said in original post.

 

[h2odrx]

If no one comes through I see what I can do for ya?
