I have for years, annually inspect our original two bladed steel fans for cracks. One spring, while doing my inspection I found my fan was terribly cracked and it was about to fly apart. It was fine just a year earlier. A good looking original fan can fail quickly. I had a model A home made tractor that lost a fan blade while I was using it. Besides a blade going through a perfectly good radiator, it also blew the tractor's hood off and into the air. It was a real dramatic experience for me. What a waste. I now run aluminum fan blades on all my model A Fords. I like your truck. We also have a 1930 AA long wheel base stake bed truck. Your truck is a keeper.
