Fan Shroud Scavenger Hunt

I searched the forum but didn't find a solution to my problem, which is: there is no fan shroud on my 1960 F100 w/223. None of the catalogs I have list a fan shroud for this truck. I'm thinking I'll go to the local pic-a-part and look around for one that might fit...but, before I brave the 110 degree heat aimlessly searching, does anyone know if a shroud from another specific car or truck will work? Thanks.

I got one out of speedway, universal chrome, but will need modifacation. I just got it, so after I'm done I'll let you know if it worked or not.

Y block shrouds are differen than the 6 cylinder ones. 53-56 are different than the 57-60's at least on the v-8's. I have had the 6 cyl ones for the 53-56's in the past, but currently dont have any.

The differences between the v8 and six is the v8 is about 5 inches deep and the six shroud is about 2 inches deep.

Clear as mud.
