I'm with Boog. It looks like your fan is entirely inside the shroud and it should be half in and half out.

Was this originally a 6 cylinder truck? If so does anyone know if the 6cyl engine mounting is further forward than the V8? That could explain why your further into the shroud.

I would flush the cooling system just to be safe and a water pump would be cheap to replace, just to know it's all good.

That's a good looking truck. I hope you get some good insurance money for the T-Bone....
