Darn cold! broke teh radiator Shroud....

Anyone have a shroud for a 351, with AC, and a manual tranny they are willing to sell?
Thanks

Sorry I don't have one but when I was looking for one for my 81 with a 300 & AC that no one makes one for, I looked at LMC and NPD.

With a lot of measuring of my radiator, what Gary posted in the cooling / radiator area and what NPD listed size for some parts I was able to figure that one for a newer truck would fit.
I only had to trim about 1/8" off each side and it fit like a glove.

So if you cant find one as a direct bolt up may need to do what I did.
BTW was it a bad motor mount that made the motor move to take out the shroud?

Broke my radiator shroud the day I got my truck home. We were unloading it off the trailer in my yard, and I could hear these random ting ting ting sounds...

It was one of the metal core rods from the original Ford radiator had let loose and the fan was smacking it around and it hit and cracked the shroud on the driver's side.

I safety wired it back together and put black duct tape over it...lol. Can hardly notice it.

Reamer, I'll keep an eye out, but most of the old trucks around here did not have AC and therefore did not have that wider rad.

No Bad motor mount, just stupid old me leaning on it.

Were you leaning in there to change out that oil pressure sender fitting? If yes, how did that go?
