Body Work Help

[4 bangin]

Working on fixing my old bronco 2 (87) for my girl.
i robbed the front fenders, hood,core support from it last year top fix a little fender bender on my ranger.

so now of course i need to fix this beautiful b2 i got in the barn.

the hood, outter fenders, core support, stone deflecter are easily found and quite cheap in my lmc.

but i cannot find the "core supports"? not sure what the term is for them i have seen cowl support, etc.

but the supports from the core support to the cab that the outter fenders bolt to.
is there anywhere that these can be found new or am i gonna have to go to a junkyard and drill the F*&# out of a bunch of spotwelds again?

thanks for looking

Try Rock Auto. They have pretty much everything

thanks for the lead but not avaliable there either. anyone else had this problem before? guess they never expected a 1st gen ranger/b2 ti be restored

surely im not the only one to cream a deer with my baby and need to find one of these

anyone at least know the technical term for this silly thing so i can search for it better?

I've always thought the core support was from the cowl forward but after reading lots of threads I see that it refers to the front portion around the rad only. Try searching for the portion in between under; [WAG = wild ass guess]
inner fender
fender support
That's all I have right now.
Good luck,

Richard

You might find something here, if not it's a pretty good site if you need anything else for your B2

Ford's shop manual lists it as - Front Fender Inner Body. Neither Jeff's Bronco Graveyard or LMC list it though so a junkyard or craigslist might be your only options unless somebody here's got another idea.

I found this. If this is what you're looking for. If not, I have no idea. Good luck.

I don't think you are gonna be finding the inner fenders outside a junk yard.

LMC does have the (radiator) core support.

thanks for the help guys

checked all sites i could think of... ford.. and several body shops

seems these things are a no show. time to buy some good spotweld cutters and head to pull-a-part

You have had 2 different posters tell you where to get them. I don't understand why you say you can't find them.

The header panel and the core support are available. The inner fender support is what seems to be unavailable new. I didn't see them at LMC or Jeff's.

because he's not looking for the core support, he's looking for the stamped inner fender sections that run between the core support and the firewall. i think

My bad. I guess i didn't catch that in the original post.
