I have replaced my 66 f100 radiator suport in the past for $400.00. Its that time again [its rotten]. This time i ordered one for a 61-64? Its just about the same thing.If you are handy or have a friend that welds,you are all set.The 61-64 supports main problem is its missing the 2 braces on the back side that the inner fender supports bolt to.They have added a inner bracket for the radiator,the 2 little angled pieces have to come off to make room for the fender braces,the bigger part of the added brace will stay on mine for now [putting v8 [radiator?],the small tab for radiator[top and bottom] is missing [add] if needed,need to redrill battery box holes.redrill horn holes. DO NOT USE HOLES IN NEW SUPPORT FOR THE BRACES,THEY ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE-MEASURE, MEASURE, MEASURE. You will need about 48 inch long,2 1/2 inch wide,90 degree bend at the 1 inch mark.My local shop charged $20.00 for the steel already 90'd.Then cut it in half and carefully make your cuts to bend it to shape.Mind came out perfect.Give it some paint and its brand new again. Good luck-definately worth the little bit of work to have a brand new support.
