Larry,
Thanks for the kind words and glad the pics may have provided some detail and further knowledge.
Now that you mention your truck was originally a 6 cylinder model, I understand how that would change the radiator and shroud placement VS your V8 installation, creating your dilemma.
I know you can't be the only Bolter to have made this kind of change. Perhaps one of them will chime in with more details about what they have done and maybe some pictures to help us see a possible solution?
Maybe you could also post a couple pics to see what your current set up looks like. It may offer some brain cell stirring thoughts to find or suggest an alternate solutions.

How about it fellow TF Bolters, anyone else got a possible solution for Larry!!!
Dan
