fan shrouds pretty much became standard on V8 trucks from 58 on -
here's a 60, pretty hard to find that style now although they were also used on the cars back then, like the one I found
for my 58 .... most folks now opt for an electric pusher instead

Huh!!
Isn't that interesting..!
When I first got my 1960 P-20, I soon on found an early 327 Engine, which I bought and had re-built.
There was still a Junkyard in Town ( gone now ) which had some old stuff and I got the early V-8 Truck Factory Engine mounts, and a Cast Iron Bell Housing to go between my existing Transmission and the early 327...figuring I would replace the 235 with the 327, so as to be able to get on the Highway or Interstate, once I move across country.
I have not thought about the transplant since, but, understanding the Fan Shroud is a big help, thanks for that info and images!
I think I could fabricate a shroud and do a good job of it and for the Step Van, no one would ever see the Shroud anyway so, if it were a little different than the ( scarce ) Stock one, I would not mind.
