Hoping to buy part of a radiator core support...

Hoping someone has one that can't be reused and would be willing to chop off and ship part of it. I'm trying to make a repair as cheaply and efficiently as possible.

That's for the whole support. Not what I specified in my post.

 

This may/may not be helpful for what you are trying to do.

Thank you. I actually ordered the U-shaped piece from Rock Auto which is why I'm just looking for someone with a junked support that would cut off that one little top rail which isn't included in it.

 

Car-par.com will help you find a junkyard with a Tacoma, they may be willing to do some surgery

 

I messaged 9 different places for parts on there asking about hoods, fenders, aprons, and bumper covers, and not a single one replied. I'm not a phone guy so I sourced all my other parts elsewhere.

 

Junkyards aren’t exactly email places, they are fully phone calls

 

I think JD Fabrication has a complete front rad support that is an upgrade over the original OEM. I think you have to call for it, it doesn't appear to be listed on their site, and may require their inner fenders. Just an option, although it's probably not a cheap option.

 

Thank you but without even going to their site that is WAY more than I'd be willing to spend. I may ultimately just replace the whole support, I just didn't want to go through all that work for such a small piece.

 

If you broke that piece it’s really hard to repair, I chased both sides for awhile and the crack kept coming back, I’d fix a crack and another would appear a few inches over.

 

I bought a salvage vehicle and it's got crushed but the but starting at the radiator to the end of the passenger side is perfectly fine.

 

Isnt that whole core support like $75 shipped?

Or you can remake that part from angle iron?

 

It's not the price of the part it's evacuating the refrigerant. The truck isn't road worthy so I'd have to pay even more to have someone come to the house to do it. That coupled with having to take apart a bunch of stuff and then drilling/grinding out the spot welds only to have to put it all back together and then pay to get my AC working. It's just not efficient or cost effective when I could just cut off the bad 12-15" up top and weld a replacement piece.
As for making it from angle iron I know I wouldn't come close to getting it right. If it was in the back of the truck sure but I want to make sure my hood/headlight/fender lines all match up.
