4x4 shroud - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chas350 · 04-26-2009, 09:54 PM

Hey guys, can someone tell me why the 4x4 shroud is different then the 2wd version? Both of my K trucks came to me with out shrouds, so I am at a loss.
4x4 shrouds seem to be offset to one side? Maybe a 4x4 radiator is larger?
Are the two wide spaced attachment tabs on the top or bottom?
their is a thread titled "attention chas" in the parts forum with pics. hoping some one can educate me on it.
thanks

the 4X4 has the engine mounted back further in the engine compartment... the shroud has to be longer ona 4X4 due to that distance.

Dean's truck IS very nice... it's been a few years since I've seen it... but it was a SWEET looking ride.
