I worked on a 39 Ford with that problem. Turns out the fan was for a truck, and the blades were longer than one for a car, so they hit the lower radiator core.

ever try to replace a water pump equipped with a 4 blade?? the radiator has to come out. With a 2 blade, it does not. The advantages of a 2 blade out number the 4 blade in performance, fit, appearance, and cost.
