Early A fan Shroud

'64 Cuda said

Don't know if it was an option or what. They're made of sheet metal. I've seen pictures of a couple of members cars that had them. Maybe they only came with AC? I have a factory '64 V8 car. It came with a 6 cylinder sized radiator & no shroud. My mom had a '65 6 cylinder Barracuda. No shroud on it either. I'm going to have to modify the core support opening on my car to make the V8 radiator fit.

I have one on my car, and although you never see them today, they were available on all cars. They are a 2 piece stamped steel item and are held in place by some unique side metal brackets that lock into the side of the radiator. I have also seen them, and almost bought one, from a 6 cylinder car on which the radiator is slightly offset in the core support. Incidentally 64cuda, you shouldn't have to alter the core support to put a 22 inch V-8 radiator in your car. I believe that all of the openings are for 22 inch rads and the 19 inch 6 cylinder rad has a larger flange on one side to make up the difference. Anyway, my shroud cost me $225.00 about 7 years ago, and I'm sure they're not any cheaper today. The guy I got mine from always has a couple at every show I see him at. "Big Joe" from W Va. if you know him from the Nats. If you need one, I'll look up his number for you. Geof
