Re: overheating at idle
It could also be that the shroud isn't installed properly at the bottom. Take a look, it's easy to check. Is it firmly seated to the bottom of the clips that hold it in place? If someone got frustrated and didn't install it properly, it could rotate the bottom back toward the engine, lifting the bottom of the shroud toward the fan.

Re: overheating at idle
Yes, as has been said, the K truck engines sit back further than the C trucks. I believe this is to keep the oilpan from contacting the front axle/diff. My K10 has the stock engine location, deep shroud, aftermarket clutch fan that I installed, and a fan spacer that moves the fan into the proper space within the shroud.
Just a little more info for you, hope it helps!

Re: overheating at idle
somehow i missed the passengers radiator mount bushing is loose. I ordered new bushings to see if it will settle.
