Radiator/Shroud Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

'71 C10. Did the stock fan shroud physically mount to the radiator or some other place on the front of the truck? I have an aftermarket aluminum radiator right now and no fan shroud. The engine overheats if it just sits and idles for a while I assume due to the fact that there's no fan shroud to direct the air through the radiator. As long as I am moving forward it stays plenty cool. I am trying to decide whether I should replace the radiator with an OEM type ($200) and stock shroud or first try to get a stock shroud to mount with the current radiator. Any information or advice would be appreciated.
