It is a mistake in the table your Vin is F100 360 New Jersey September 1968 I had one like that too. You need a radiator for any FE powered F100 to f350 from 68 to 76.

Then it is not a Ford radiator that is listed in his catalog. Autozone, Checker , NAPA and most radiator shops can get the right one.

A lot of discussion here about the F-350 radiators in the past few years. Search "super cooling" to find all the results. Here's a pretty decent picture of my 1971 F-350 super cooling radiator support:

I found out last week that the two supports that attach to the core support on the super cooling are actually galvanized. Sure wish they woulda' made our whole core supports from galvanized.

i think i may have called front and back wrong. the front should pertain to the frotn of the truck. and i was calling it the front of the eninge side. i havent seen a f350 with a front mount like a f100. i thought all f350 and 4wd had the straps so they botled on mid way.

I knew you meant the front of the truck but my F350 mounted the same as my F250 does. I only compare those 2 because they are fresh in my mind. My Baja 250/500 68 SWB did not mount standard radiators. It had 2 one top and one bottom. We could shut one off if it got holed.
