Radiator fans ?
What size and make electric radiator fans are you using in your 53-56's. I am getting my original rad recored and plan using the electric fan pull type, does it need to to cover all of the core to get sufficient cooling?
Thanks in advance for all your cool tips

I have a Spal straight blade fan on mine. Cools real well, with the AC on, even on our 105' days this summer.
The straight blade fan pulls about 300 CFM more air than the curved blade fan. The drawback is that is real noisy. Sound like a mini siren. Don't really notice it going down the road, but when you stop you can hear it. Outside the truck, it is pretty noisy. Don't get a Zirgo fan. I had one and it burned up and the housing melted. Found out after that it was a common problem with them. No problems with the Spal

I was thinking of puchasing this one from Jegs Perma-Cool 19126 Perma-Cool Standard Electric Fans or possibly this one but is twice as much money wise
JEGS 52115 JEGS Dual Electric Cooling Fans# trying to figure which would be the best choice or if they are a good choice at all, has anyone here purchased one of thiers to make a comment.
