49-51 6 cylinder radiator and fan shroud measurements

I have a 1949 ford car with the flathead 6 cylinder. I'd like to add a fan shroud to it. I don't really like electric fans. I'm thinking one from a truck might work. Could someone measure their rad and shroud and tell me if it is close? My radiator is about 20.5 inches wide, and 19.5 inches tall. The tip of the fan blade is about 4 inches from the top of the cap. The fan sits about an inch away from the radiator.

1949 F1 226:

best I can see:

21 1/2" wide

27" high

Hard to measure the blade to top of radiator with shroud in place but closer to 10"
