I changed them on the 68 and the 72 . Makes a big difference in the ride also as long as you use the rubber and not the poly mounts

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Changed out the 2447 to the new 2947 . Hayden came with this one to bring the fan further away from the radiator when you put in an oversized core. I used it because I have a long pump setup on the 72 was that way when I bought it . The clutch shaft is about 1/2 to 5/8 inch shorter so it moved the blades closer to the edge of shroud . Only problem was getting the nuts on took a lot finagling but I finally got it not much room between the hub and the studs actually had to put each one on a thread or to before moving to the next . Hub actually hit the nut and wouldn’t go on if I threaded it any more .

The fan is still in further than stock but much better now .

I spent most of the morning washing and waxing my truck. Not bad for a 28 year old paint job.

Amazing how easy these are, compared to those old 4GC Rochesters, what with all those check balls. You turn them over after removing the air horn and all those BBs fell out...and that exploded view was worthless.

Pictures make it easier than it is . Got it on and noticed I bought 69-72 radiator support bushings so I’m stuck at it just being on loosely till the right ones come . R&R of the front clip on these is pretty easy though

Removed 2" blocks, installed 3" blocks and shims.

Removed old reverse switch on the 465, put a new one in and wired it in correctly. The reverse lights haven't worked since I got the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Well, yesterday. I hosed the big chunks off the truck and took it to a cruise-in. In Simi Valley, the Ventura County Coachmen Car Club holds a car show on the first Saturday of the month, most months. One can look up their calendar online. Member Richard and I live a few miles apart, and met up with other people there. It was well-attended this month, it being the last day for the year. Everything from blown big block Corvettes to lowered '30s Cars. Lots of nice people, with an interest in vehicles.
