Default looking for an 12v fan for 47 truck, any ideas??

switching over to 12 v, put a new electronic dist. on and the cap doesnt clear the stock fan belt.
wondering if anyone else has found a 12v fan that comes close to mounting on the stock radiator

thanks for any ideas
some days nothing seems to go together without a fight

Mounted a Ford Escort on the front of my 46 radiator, just needed a couple of angle brackets to mount it, works fine.

SPAL makes a good fan, pusher and puller, and have used pusher on my 41 truck and have a puller for my 50 car. good support brackets also. a little pricey but pretty quiet when operating... don

Mainiac239, spal fans are good, they are quiet, be cause of curve to blade ,they are both pushers and puller, meaning that blade can be fliped over , Harold,Ca.

I'm a Spal fan believer also. They make a great fan. Do the research,as they make a number of thin fans that have good air flow.

here's my set-up on the '47, stock fan won't clear the msd. just put a new Flex-a-lite S-Blade Low Profile on (after this pic).
