Any Ideas on how to replace a radiator support. I need to know if It is welded to the frame. The area where the cross member is bolted to is heavely rusted.

The cross member 'takes in' all engine torque, has to be sound. Check out, nobody wants that to drop off...

Make/modify new support, from suitable scrap metal piece, attach with screws or rivets... Oil stops all rusting.

When you say rusted, can you break off pieces, or bend it? If it is too bad take it to a body shop.

You can definetly bend and break of some rusted chips of metal. There is actually a whole around where the crossmember bolts are located.

How much can something like this cost? Is it something you would try doing yourself?

Price out a new core support, and if you have a buddy who is a welder by trade or good body guy, it may not cost that much. As far as would I personally do it? Nope, out of my league.
