fan shroud project

could not find a fan shroud that would fit my new rad, so since I got a mig welder at christmas i figured it be a good first projet to learn how to weld sheet metal. i used some angle iron and clamps in order to make the bends. I just need to prep it and paint it black. welding was fun with the gas setup

Re: fan shroud project

Nice job!! It's so much better knowing you did something for yourself than picking up the phone and ordering it!!!

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
