Fan shroud from LMC - Help!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I purchased a two-piece fan shroud from LMC Truck. It appears that the only hardware that holds the bottom shroud in place are the side clips that clip the top and bottom shroud together. Is that right? How did the originals fasten?

Mine has some tabs that slide into slotted holes, in the core support, below the radiator.

The bottom on my 83 and my 81 have a "bolt" on either side that thread into a clip nut on the lip of the rad cradle.
If you are asking what holds the top half and the bottom half together; big staples.

The shrouds at least for 81-up are stapled together and have 2 holes at the bottom-there should be 2 holes in the lower lip of your core support and 10mm machine screws go through the shroud and through 2 threaded p clips. On 1989-older, those shrouds had 2 u-clips...one end slides onto the shroud edge and then slides onto the lip of the core support. Is it possible you ordered the wrong shroud ie ine for an older truck...pre ‘81 perhaps?
