haha hopefully they do. How hard was it getting that support out? I need to do that soon.

Autozone has them for a few bucks less, and no shipping... otherwise, check with some of your other local stores.

Getting the support out is actually fairly easy on those trucks... just a lot to take loose.

They will work fine, or you can just replace them with the factory rubber mounts. Urethane mounts are harder so bumps are tramsmitted more throughout the cab, so you can get increased vibration & jolts and sometimes the urethane will squeak. The rubber mounts are softer and do not squeak. There are pluses and minuses to both rubber and urethane mounts.

Good point on the bushings, thanks guys for showing me where to look. Well, this particular radiator support was a big project, every nut needed to be grinded out, nothing just "unbolted", everything was extremely rusty, but there isnt really any thing on this truck that has surprised me yet, but its the last thing that I have been wanting to gut since I have started the restoration.

I guess I got lucky on my 92, it all came loose without too much extra trouble, maybe a few...

Yeah I guess you did. But if everything came out loose for me, then I wouldn't of felt the urge to replace it, I been wanting to replace this for ever, just never really wanted to get into it because I knew it would hold the vehicle up for a few days while I got it all back together ect...But the new support is in, I hope to get it all back together my Friday, I want to get pics up guys of the new smoked headlights, with the new black trim around the new windshield for you guys, I dont know if i posted these already but shoot me if i did.


Heres the Trim that got powder coated:

Heres the new headlights:

I am still waiting for the new black mirrors to come in but you get the idea what they will look like while the chrome backings are off.

Which of those bushings is for the front rad support? I also need all new hardware to seeing i had to grind out all the other old stuff.

The set comes with all the bushings to do the cab as well as the rad support. (just looked at the link, and somehow, it swapped off to sway bar/endlinks... gotta love computers! )The blots come with the set. Since the link is messed up, here is the pertinent info:

Your other choice would be repro companies,LMC truck is one that will have the rubber bushings, not sure if Ford still has such or not. As mentioned, poly bushings tend to be stiffer.
