Can someone post some good photos of a 36 ford 6 blade fan. I am looking for one and want to make sure that I get the right one. I grabbed the following info from another post.

the 6 blade fan produced for the trucks 1933 thur 1936. This fan blade has 15 1/2" blades like the 4 blade fan,and the hub is also the same as the car which is 1 1/16".

Thank you for the help

the truck fan has a longer snout, the radiator on the truck is further away then a car

Jacob-

Enclosed are pictures of a '35- 6 blade fan. These things are great for cooling especially at slow speeds. However, they do give new meaning to the word "noisy." If you are attempting to mimic a miniature 747, a six blade is for you. As for me, I tried one about 20 years ago. After one extended trip off it came.

If its not a concourse restauration a flexblade with modern design to minimize noise seems like a better choice.

Older fans with blades evenly placed blades makes more noise.

Tom thank you for the photos. Now I have a better idea of what I am looking for. I am Little less concerned about the noise since I am a open top car. Although it is not a show car I want to keep as factory as I can.

I drove a 36 roadster with a small generator pulley, the fan was turning fast, and that is all I heard
