Jim....Speedway shows well over a hundred different shrouds in their catalog.

Ain't got a clue as to what to tell you without knowing what you have. Can you post a part number, or some sort of reference? If you will e-mail your two pictures to me, I will post them HERE for you. DD

Jim,
If you purchased the plastic '39 del '40 Walker shroud I might be able to help.

My '41 p'up has the same low crank fan as does your '39 del. On the shroud I described one end is straight a the other end has a partial radius. I installed the shroud with the
straight end up after removing the fan. My install was 4 zip ties to the steel frame of the rad. I marked the crank center line with a white marker onto the shroud. After
removal I marked the fan diameter on the shroud using my center line ref mark and saber sawed that dia plus an
extra 1/2" on a side ( 1" total on the diameter ).
My fan just pokes into the shroud, Looks good and really works.

You should have this drawing that shows it's orientation and the optional locations for the self installed opening.

Like Charlie, I installed mine with the flat side up, 1939 DeLuxe, The center of the fan is about 15" from the flat top. Never trust any instructions from Speedway. Had to trim the sides to fit inside the channel for the wire loom.

Thanks for the help. Speedway one with the flat-side should work perfectly. I just have to worry about the distance of the fan into the shroud.

No worry, it works just fine without any modification.

Here is the shroud on my 39 P/U Should was off an early large truck. It
is mounted upside down and has metal stip spacers about 1" wide on both
sides to mount it to if I remember the radiator mounting frame. Also made
an adaptor to mount a heavy multi bladed fan from a Shramm air
compressor. You have to be carefull no to get a blade that pushes the air
forward. This truck was run all day on a day that was over 100 degrees
at a fast idle and never got over 180 degrees. It was run at a fast idle.
I went to lunch a left Ken from Cn. watch it. If I raced the engine a little
it came down a few degrees. G.M.

Jim, In order to make it easy to install and remove the fan shroud in my 40, I cut it in half horizontally. That way you can remove the top half and bottom half with ease. I have a WALKER rad. and a WALKER shroud but, I bet you could do the same with any shroud. I'll try and post photos tomorrow.
