82-87 (~91) Aftermarket Core Support Covers??
Does anyone make a different (better ) core support cover for the mechanical fan & radiator for these year trucks? I started re-assembling the cover & shroud assembly on my 89 CC only to confirm my previous thoughts.... it's fugly.
Not going back together as is but would prefer to not have to build something myself for simplicity.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. It's always been use factory, or remove and use electric fans.

I've come across several options for earlier trucks but nothing for newer models. Electric fans would eliminate the mechanical fan shroud but the top would still be a visual issue.

Or something pretty (that I don't have to fan/chrome myself) for the top of the core support

Re: 82-87 (~91) Aftermarket Core Support Covers??
What sux is the top/front of the core support isn't symmetrical L to R which makes creating something visually appealing a PITA. My approach will be just a cover for the radiator that allows the factory shroud to bolt in place like OE. Anything else I feel will require re-working the core support.
