Bracket, for Core Support Mounts; "... agree with the others that you need to replace the rad core support along with the body mount bushings. You may discover after removing those items that the bottom frame mounts for the bushings are also rusted out, exp the hole in the center of them. Those are riveted on but worthy of replacing while you're doing the rest. Although, by the pics of the severe rust, you may have similar issues with the rest of the frame/ body mounts..."

Bracket, for Core Support Mounts; "...You should have the ones pictured by Miesk5, with the hex-shaped bottom. These are rubber molded around the metal part, and must be replaced as a unit. THey are near impossible to separate. Also, beware that the frame mounting bracket for these is often wallowed out or rusted thru, and will also need to be replaced if damaged. These are riveted onto the frame, but replacements are bolted on after removing the rivets and old mounts. Finally, the core support may be rusted in the body mount area, and any damage needs to be fixed before installing the new bushings. There may be one or more spacers on top of the bushing, used to align or level the core support. In my experience, it's a PITA to replace these, since they are often rusted out or the bolts are seized up. The inner sleeve is threaded for the bolt, and no amount of pounding will separate the old ones if rusted up. A Sawz-All or cut-off wheel may need to be used to get the old ones out..."

Build Date Stamp Location in a 96; "...The vehicle build date stamp is a four-digit number representing month and day of manufacture. On Bronco and F-150, F-250, F-350, the vehicle build date is stamped on the front surface of the radiator support on the passenger's side of the vehicle. For example, for a build date of January 24, the vehicle build date stamp reads 0124; for a build date of October 21, the vehicle date stamp reads 1021. Yellow ink is normally used for the date stamp. When the marking surface is painted the body color, the date stamp will be marked in red ink. Units from the Ontario Truck Plant (Code C) will be marked with silver ink..." in 1996 F-150, F-250, F-350, F-Super Duty and Bronco Workshop Manual
