Looking for a Radiator Top Mount Part
« on: October 26, 2017, 08:23:43 am »
So I need a RH Radiator Top Mount Bracket for my 1991 V3500.  It came from the factory with the TBI454 and the HD Radiator.  I have asked for clarification from that one truck parts store, if their 81-87 305/350 Bracket - Radiator Top Mounts are the same as for the late model crew cabs and for the 454, but I have not received a reply.  I also e-mailed a couple of wrecking yards that have radiator supports for my truck and have not received a reply.

Suggestions?  Here are pictures of the LH mount that I need a RH version for...I was able to get the correct rubber isolators...just need the metal bracket:

I can check mine when I get home and see if they are the same.

Those look like the diesel mounts, not available aftermarket, let me check mine as well.

They are not diesel mounts, or maybe they used the same ones.  I had this discussion when I talked to the radiator people too.  This is the HD Radiator for the 454.  It was used from 1989-1991.  It is a 34" wide, 4 row core.

Those look different Vile...smaller pocket for the radiator cushions.  The Diesel ones look like they are the same as what was used for the HD 454 radiator.  Thanks for checking!

Looks like I will have to start looking for a 83-91 diesel mount.  Thanks Kaiser!

Look for guys parting out 84-86 CUCV trucks, they all had diesel mounts.
