securing fan shroud?

[badform]

Hey gang!

So, I replaced the leaky 4 row radiator of unknown origin with a nice 3 row and a functional fan shroud. I didn't change the lower radiator mounts, but everything went together in a way that seemed like it all meant to work together. So far so good.

However, I don't see how to secure the bottom of the fan shroud. It fits perfectly with the radiator, and looks like there's a tab on each side that should slide into something, but I don't see what that something is. The lip of the core support is a bit below that, so maybe I'm missing something. Possibly I need new lower rubbers?

Does anyone have a picture of how the bottom of their fan shroud is secured? That would help a lot.

Thanks!!

No pictures but there are two metal clips that secure the bottom. They slide onto the lip on the core support and the shroud slips down into them.

Oh! Is there a source for these? What would I search for?

On the parts board.


I just typed in "shroud clips" in the google search box above, clicked on the circle in front of "67-72chevytrucks.com" and clicked on the "Google" button.

One of them is an old thread but the pictures are good.

So, are these discontinued? All I can find new is this, which doesn't look like the same thing, but maybe it would work?

I'm thinking those might be a little small. I went out and crawled under the '70 and mine measure 7/8" wide and 1 1/4" tall. I don't have a clue if they are available new or not.... Probably have to keep a lookout on the parts board.

I'm hoping this is the right orientation. Looks like it. I lightened it up a little too

Thanks for the responses and the photos!

I'll have to check to see if the clips are on the core support I got with the radiator... the truck and parts are at a friend's house. In the meantime, i'll see if I can find a source for the clips. Otherwise, I might have to fab something.
