core supports and radiator setoffs

Post by fordman »

most of us know about the 2wd core support and how the radiator bolts directly to it. on 4wd the radiators have a off set. with the extra brackets that bring the radiator closer to the enigne. i found a radiator off set today on a 71 2wd F250 camper special.that is different. one that i hadnt seen before. here are the pics of it. i do think this is a factory offset. this truck hasnt been messed with very much. soi think htis may be a factory thing. hereare the pics of what i found. this truck did have a shroud on it but it was broken and had large missing pieces.

I see an idler pulley Did it have A-C ?
Maybe it was set back for a condenser.
Those spacer tubes don't look stock.

i do think this truck had a/c.but that is the only thing left of the a/c to this truck. and i think it was a dealer a/c unit. somaybe that would explain it. the last F250 cs i had here had factory a/c and no spacer with the radiator. it bolted directly to the core support.
