I have a 1928 closed cab pickup it has a 4 blade fan. I was was going to change it to a 2 blade but was told that pickups came with a 4 blade fan. Is this true?? Thanks!! Chuck B Southern Ohio

That is not true. Model A's did not come with four blade fans - just two. My source for information is the Model A Judging Standards and Restoration Guidelines - Area 3, Page 2 - Cooling System.

Not true. All Model A's came with a two blade fan. The four blade fan came on the later V8 Ford motors. I used both however on a Model A and prefer the two blade fan.

Chuck, this is totally incorrect.
Please ship the 4 blade fan.... along with the vehicle to me so they can be properly disposed of.

The four blade fan that looks like it belongs on the car actually came with the '33-'34 4 cylinder motors. It shows up in the Green bible with a "46" prefix and is listed to be the replacement fan for '28-''34, 4 cylinder motors. The fan for the V8 motors will not bolt onto a Model A.
