I'm looking to put an electric fan on my 63', is there one I might could find at a junkyard from another vehicle that would work? or a nice kit that would mount up with the holes on the sides of the radiator? thanks

I used a 16" permacool from summitracing. Was 90 or so and flows 3000cfm. Keeps my c10 nice and cool and uses some fancy zipties to hold it on which go through the radiator

Hey Brawley,

I used twin SPAL fans that come mounted and built a frame out of aluminum angle that bolts to the existing shroud holes, no modification to the truck. It works real good. I used the SPAL variable speed fan controller that runs one fan low speed, or one fan high speed, or both fans high speed depending on what is needed to control the temperature. Pretty clean solution.

I second the Spal dual fan setup. I used and adjustable engine temp switch and a trinary switch to turn on when needed.
