Re: 1940 ford walker shroud
T he shroud looks to be black plastic mounted to alum brackets.
Any idea where your friend got the shroud? |

Re: 1940 ford walker shroud
i placed an ad on here in the wanted section about a year ago and a fellow barner had a NOS one uncut in the box , hopefully a company will buyout walkers the tooling and start making radiators and shrouds again

Fortunately, Johnson's Hot Rod Shop has picked up the Walker business. I don't know if they'll be offering the shrouds too, but you could check with them: http://johnsonshotrodshop.com/news.php Good Luck

Re: 1940 ford walker shroud
Nice job. Shroud looks good.
When I installed my 1940 Walker shroud on the 1940 Walker radiator, I cut it in half horizontally so it would be easy to remove without having to remove the fan. You can't see the cut line in the photo but, it's there. |

Re: 1940 ford walker shroud
Another option should be Vintage Air, the air conditioning folks. I could not open their catalog but did notice Speedway Motors offers plastic shrouds fron Vintage Air. Hope this helps.

Re: 1940 ford walker shroud
If you can close off the bottom part, the shroud will work better. The less open space around the shroud the better it works.

Re: 1940 ford walker shroud
I went to allot of trouble to construct an aluminum shroud for my 40 Ford with A/C. I found the problem with the full coverage shroud was the restricted air flow at speed. I first cut some windows with flapper doors so they would open with pressure. Eventually I found that using no shroud was OK with my setup.
