okay... here's the plan

a. go home and measure fan to rad distance... i'm betting it is much larger than 3/4 of an inch

b. determine the "cut" which again, i think is lower than it should be

c. measure for a donor shroud and proceed to junk yard

d. based on results, thumb through Jegs & Summit to see how much an electric fan would cost me

Jim... thanks for the make the shroud link... even tho i've done everything on this truck from sandblasting to bending brake lines, making a shroud might be low on the list of solutions... darn, now you got me thinking i could do it smile
