Fan shroud

Ok, So I'm apparently trying to find the impossible for my truck. I have a 1988 F350 cclb dually 4x4 with a 7.5l W/air conditioning and I need a fan shroud. If anyone can point t me in a direction to finding one would be greatly appreciated or if anyone has the OE part number for me to try cross referencing would be great. Thanks for any help or input on this!

Have you checked your local salvage yard? That's where I found mine, and it looks like new after cleaning it.

I found that one too but if you read the vehicle fitment details it says its for non A/C trucks even though the title says it is for with it. Thats why i was hoping to find an OE part number to compare it to the listed compatible part numbers.

yeah I have. Only luck I had was finding a fan but it was on a burned truck so the shroud didnt make it.

You just need your shroud to cover an appropiate anmount, place the opening in the spot your fan will actually turn, and read enough to actually slightly enclose the fan partially into the opening. The contours or other parts may be different but if you find a junkyard or local one you can get a good idea if you commpare it up.

you can also make one physically if it came to it.

ANything on LMC? universal stuff may be able to be adapted.

I apologize if none of this helps just thinking of things that may be helpful, I have no experiecne with an 88

I've called every junkyard in a 100 mile radius of me and not a single one has one.

Even if for 'non AC'...it beats no shroud. Run it for now.

I had to replace the shroud on my 4.9 and had no option for AC, nor radiator thickness.

Update! So I went ahead and ordered the shroud listed in the comments above and finally got around to attempting to install it. And wouldn't you know it, the non A/C shroud fits just fine! No clearance issues at all. Just like that she's back on the road with the new old clutch fan I found used and new shroud. Hasn't even ran the slightest bit hot yet like it was doing with the electric fans (3 to be exact) someone had installed previously. Thanks for all help everyone!
