Re: V-8 Fan Shrouds?

Learn something everyday. I have owned and seen tons of these trucks myself in the 50 years I've dealt with them and never knew that. Most I've had didn't have A/C, too, but they all had a fan clutch. I used to run flex fans which meant using a spacer in place of the clutch. I guess I assumed the ones with spacer had the clutch removed. I need to check my shroud stash for differences. I assumed they were all the same. I wonder how many trucks I ran using the wrong shroud. I always figured the spacer equaled the length of the fan clutch. Never had any issues either way
