Re: 1978 Chevy K20 longbed with nearly 500,000 miles! LS Swap begins!

Thanks guys! I’ve been enjoying the new truck and ordering new parts for that as well

Anchorage Sheet Metal was able to quickly knock out my fan shroud covers, and they turned out great! After test fitting, I did end up trimming off 1/4” from the bottom on both sides, as well as radiusing the corners and adding a bit more clearance around the hose areas. Very happy with how they fit.



Test fitting each panel.









Now that I’m satisfied with the fit, let’s get some color on them!



While the paint was drying, I worked on a few other projects. Transferred the bolt pattern of the clutch reservoir to the new bracket, and added some U-nuts.



Everything mounted up!



Now I have perfect clearance from the older style hood hinges!



This hole was also left over from the removal of the mechanical clutch rod.



I installed the cover I made with a bit of sealant, and it’s a perfect fit!



Now that the fan should be going in soon, the lower radiator hose was installed.



With the paint now dry, I installed the covers to the shroud.









Mounting complete!



Dropped the fan into the core support.



Fully mounted!







Fitment at the bottom tabs.



Upper radiator hose installed!





Steam hose installed.





One clip installed for the upper radiator hose, I still need to pick up another. This should also hold the Terminator X battery harness once that gets installed.
