I see you have a severe-duty clutch -- once you get the shroud adapted to fit, it should be impossible for that truck to overheat. Looking good!

Got it done. Doesn't look too bad

Way to hang in there! Nice work, Rg

I'll probably paint it semi gloss like the shroud but just sprayed what I had

Yes, nice work. I did about the same, but there's no plastic at all. The fan clutch fins are about 1/2" from the radiator.

Idk what the optimum distance is but a half-inch should work. I'm about 5" from radiator but I guess with that "Tunnel Effect" it'll work.

All done. 3 and a half inch wide metal strip secured with little piercing screws with loctite. Merry Christmas.
