Re: Project - '69 4x4 named "Patches"

One of the plans for my truck was to add an electric fan setup. So I did some searching on the board and looked a hundreds of threads about electric fans and I found a great write up by boardmember Shifty that seemed to meet my needs. I won't go throught the details of what I did, because you can look through Shifty's thread below and see the details. I basically copied his instructions and everything worked out perfectly.

The parts I bought for my fan setup from Wes at Classic Hearbeat and Paul at GMCPauls were all top quality parts. This was also the first time I purchased anything from either one of these board vendors and the customer service was top notch from both. I'll be sending them more business in the future.

Flex-a-lite fans from Classic Heartbeat



Fans mounted to shroud. Real clean look so far.



Shroud mounted to radiator




Then I mounted the complete setup to the core support for a photo shoot.





I'll be adding a serpentine setup to the motor as well when the budget allows. Once I get that installed I can test fire the 350 finally. The addition of the serpentine kit along the electric fans should the give the engine compartment a clean uncluttered look. Stay tuned for future updates.
