I have a 71 with a/c. I have looked at all the average sites for rebuild parts, I cannot find a squirrel cage fan anywhere. My trip to the local salvage yard yielded a 73-86 fan. Any help would be great !!!

Also my first post. I could not resist to show some photos.

Nice truck! and Welcome to the board....

The later blower motor will work if you change the squirrel cage, The later squirrel cages are wider than the '67-'72's.

One thing that might help the navigation is the "Forum Jump" box. You will find it at the bottom of almost every page. Click on the arrow on the right side of it and move your cursor into the box, then you can scroll through all of the forums on the site.
