Thank you Sir !!!
Looks like wooden mounts? haha!

My alternator is about in the same location as yours.

Yes I do want to go with a clutch fan. Its listed in the manual for 283 cid. Mid Georgia gets in the 92-98 deg range with 80% humidity!

My Queen says I have to wait about two weeks before ordering the parts. I figure about 5-600 for a new radiator, shroud, water pump and everything.

Those metal mounts are not U channels. like I thought, they are straight flat pieces all welded in. I want to see if the new Rad will slip in down between those before cutting them off. depending on how far forward the Rad sits I may use those to move it rearward. possibly use forward mount for condenser

Question: Are you using a regular mechanical fuel pump or electric? PO. install a electric one on on ours.
