Does anyone else have this problem?

I've seen several other C-10 Pick-ups with the inline six without it. Were fan shrouds used on '66 C-10's with 250 inline six engine?

Doug 57. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 124 Member | | Member Joined: May 2004 Posts: 124 | I had a 69 that did that. It sprayed water from around the front wheels. Did that since it was new. I found a piece of fairly heavy but flexible plastic and wrapped it around the distributer with a tie wrap. Made it as high as I could and cut notches for the wires. It solved my problem. Did'nt look like much but I could run through a puddle without killing the engine.
I like old trucks
