I own a 2001 f-150 and the radiator support has rusted out along the bottom of the support where it mounts to frame rail. My question is. Is this bracket a bolt-on assembly or is it welded?

The upper part is welded and the bottom is bolted to the frame. Is it rusted at the bottom where bolted to the frame?

Also, just to let you know, basically the entire front end needs removed to replace it.

You're welcome. Just so you know, the core support is around 600.00 and I think it calls for around 10 hours to replace. I have an expedition with the same problem.
