Replaced the fan shroud

So the copper truck, 77 f350 w 460, had a busted-up fan shroud. It was factory fiberglass, and the entire passenger side was missing.

I replaced it with a Dennis Carpenter part. As always, the D.C. part was perfect. It seems to be plastic, perhaps ABS, and I expect it'll last forever

The mounting holes were stamped indentations, but not all the way through. I drilled them out and then installed the shroud.

I also bought the "CAUTION FAN" sticker, so I didn't forget the fan was still there.

Also installed the hardware, u-nuts and bolts, from AutoZone. They're 1/4"-20.

Thanks! I didn't use to like the slotted mags, but they look really great on that truck.

I had them on the yellow truck, but didn't like the overall look. They look better on the copper truck. At least I think so

They look great. The wheel and tire combo fills out the wheel wells nicely.
