Some of you may have seen me post some pics of this truck before. One of my buds picked this up a few months ago and has been piddling with it on and off. I was over at his house today and I popped the hood on it. Needless to say it appears he has been working on it. I took these when he first got it.

I shot these today. It looks pretty close to the same on the outside aside from the fender he swapped out. Under the hood is showing quite the progress.

Yeeeaaahh.........I think he has some clearance issues there. I think he's running a LWP. Would a SWP setup get things a little closer to where they should be? I am really clueless in the Big Block department.

Actually, I was talking about the fan in the cab...

Was this truck originally a stepside???? If so, that is first factory Cheyenne super stepside I have actually seen.

The cab and front clip are off a lwb fleetside (according to the VIN and SPID) The frame looks like it more than likely was a swb stepper 6cyl originaly. Here's a link to a swb stepper Cheyenne Super.

Anyone have any thoughts on the fan to radiator clearance?

it looks fine to me just fab up a shroud to place the fan half in and half out of the shroud
