These are pictures of my 64 SS Impala fan setup. But it is the same idea as for the truck. I have a 2 speed fan setup to come on low with adjustable thermostat and then if I turn the AC on the high speed kicks on. They both run through the same relay. The car runs @ 190* all the time even at a stop.
Good idea, I'll look into it.
