Fan Shroud Heeeeeeeeeeelp! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tx72k15 · 01-05-2012, 01:40 AM

My truck is not anywhere near stock. It's a Frankenstein (83 burb frame, 72 gmc body, tbi 350).

I don't have a fan shroud and I'm having a hard time finding a "custom" or "universal" one to work with the mechanical fan. I don't wanna settle for one of the jegs one that doesn't cover the whole core.

I've considered going electric but in the interest of my wallet I just wanna try to find a decent shroud for the mechanical fan.

Anyone have any experience or advice? All input is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Doyle

Check LMC for fan shrouds. They seem to have the best price and I used one for a SB with A/C from them and it was good quality. Part number 32-2825 which is $60 plus shipping.

Or a cheaper electric option (I used the shroud I referenced above for this).

Take a walk through a junkyard.

In the mid 80's I got a late 70's GM shroud to adapt between the 59 radiator and SBC. Had to trim a little and make side fillers.
