Question about stock fans? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So I've been running a hood splitter fan for the past 3 years (flex fan) and I recently converted my truck from a long water pump to a short water pump. The fan now sticks out of the fan shroud. Rather than buy another spacer for the flex fan, I'd rather fix the truck properly with a "normal fan."

I've WAY overblown my budged on my Vintage Air install and am running short on funds and the 4th is coming up

These trucks had a solid fan originally, correct? Is there a late model vehicle that I can get a clutch fan off of? Does anyone have any overheating problems with one? What kind of price do most yards ask for one? What is everyone else running for a fan?

It needs to be able to fit within the shroud on a short water pump truck in the "correct" V-8 position. I think the fan would need to be approximately 3" to 3 1/2" away from the pulley to operate properly within the shroud.

Thanks
