1969 C10 Radiator and shroud needed

Ok. 1969 c10 2wd manual tranny

So the fan shroud for this truck is not functional. It is bust3s too bad. And i need a new radiator.
Tempted to go the electric route since some fans can be jad for the price of a new shroud with shipping.

Rock auto has all aluminum Liland radiators for like 150.
Do i need to be electric fan and radiator specific? Or will most aftermarket electric fans and or the taurus junkyard fans still attach?

I used a fan setup from a 2002 Toyota Camry on the '67 Panel Truck. Just a minor amount of trimming and made two small "Z" brackets to secure the top to the radiator frame. One of the bottom mounting holes lined up with a hole in the lower radiator frame and I drilled a hole in the frame on the other side to line up with the stock hole in the fan assembly. I used carriage bolts and bolted it all the way through the frame. Just go easy when you tighten them up. Pretty easy overall.... No shroud needed with this setup.

That fits nice! So there was some room on the bottom of the core support for those bottom carriage bolts to go through?
