Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
Is anyone here using a shroud for their 1941 truck? First of all, does it help that much, and secondly, where did you get it?
The only one I can find is from CG's and it lists the part as being for '42-'47 only. I can't find one for a 1941. Also, anyone using the upper grill air deflector. it seems like a good idea too. |

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
My info shows a no. 01T 8146 for 40-41 but all the fan shrouds were originally for the bigger trucks not the 1/2T pickups so I cant promise you that they will or will not fit. The shroud can make a big difference depending on were your fan is located.

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
My radiator is so tall and the fan seems to be extremely low, over half way down. Is this normal?

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
What does help a lot is having the side panels and lower deflector in place to direct the air through the radiator on a 40 41 pu.

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
Yes they are the same as a 40 car. 2 are half moon and bolt to the inner fender with the grill, the other bolts under the radiator to the frame.

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
Does anyone know of a full shroud that will work in my 1941 pickup?

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
What people are trying to tell you is that you shouldn't need a shroud for a 41 pickup. You didn't say why you were looking for one.
Are you having overheating problems? I'm not trying to be an arse, but you might be trying to apply a bandaid when the actual problem may lie elsewhere. |

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
I use a Walker shroud for a '40 Ford on my '41 1/2 ton. If you have the latest Speedway catalog check out page 210. I mounted my shroud 180 degrees from that ahown, works very well.

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
If you are having heating issues no shroud will cure them. How hot is the pickup getting?

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
I will mention here that the shroud on my '41 did help quite nicely. The crank mounted
fan on these vehicles is far from centered to the radiator. Prior to the shroud I tried the rag on the radiator stunt, it fell right off, with the shroud in place the rag clung to the rad ( engine running fan spinning in both cases of course ).....anyhoo it worked for me. Charlie ny |

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
Since the truck is so new to me, I haven't been able to get a temp reading on it other than relying on the factory gauge that gets up to 3/4 pretty fast. It doesn't loose pressure or anything, but it does get so hot under the hood that you can't leave the palm of your hand on top of it more than a split second. I haven't even driven it on a day that's more than 80 degrees yet. I figure I would try the easy stuff first, it couldn't hurt. I'll have to find someone near me with a heat temp gun, or a good thermometer.

The IR guns are cheap.

Re: Radiator Shroud on a 1941 Pickup
The head where the water exits, the top section of the radiator and the bottom of the radiator. The temp would be whatever you want it to run at. If it was me, I would want 185 to 190 exiting the heads.
