Re: Keep Your Cool! Vintage Air Sure Fit Install in a 67 C-10

You can now reinstall your radiator, radiator hoses, fan, and fan shroud.

I recommend installing the radiator, then setting the shroud in place, pushing it towards the motor, install the fan, and then push the shroud into the radiator and tighten everything down

My truck had a slight cooling problem. I have a 3 core radiator (4 core is recommended) and a flex fan, so I got a 7 blade clutch fan from Raul.Duke (THANKS MAN!), a new radiator cap, and added a radiator overflow bottle and it seems to be holding 195-200 in traffic, so I'm OK with that for now. I think next year, when I have money again I'll be going to an electric set-up.

Now would be a good time to install and tighten your alternator belt.

The size belt I used that worked well was 15540.
