As for lasting , wouldn't that depend on lots of factors, service length/severity of service/abuse, etc.
Anyway, I wouldn't run one NOW, however I have run lots of them when couldn't afford anything different  . They do nicely for show time, I guess, but I run an aluminum one now...and looks nearly like original. |
Hey Rick,
I've kept a few old fans and most of the originals were sandwiched. I've had both original two blade and the later four blade truck fans sling blades. I only use the aluminum repro two blade fans now. Like you , I ran whatever fan I could get before the good aluminum repro fans were offered and I could afford better.
