When it came it was the wrong one  >:( Ive looked all over the web and everyone tries to sell me this same shroud. the gm 3110101 is not wide enough. As in from the radiator to where it goes over top the fan is not wide enough. please any ideas will be greatly appreciated i have looked for months with no luck.

Hi Smitty:
Is your fan shroud a one-piece or two-piece design? Can you elaborate a little more on where the fit problems is? Does this shroud you bought look like the original one but just not have the right dimensions? Is it a two-piece design?

Maybe you can contact a Chevy dealer who has the older parts catalogs and can tell you if there was more than one design for your model truck.

*My old 76 350 fan shroud attachment screw holes were starting to break up and there was a couple of cracks and so I tried to order the right one but got the wrong one as well. Instead of repeating this hassle of returning parts I decided to repair it myself with 3M #2216 structural adhesive. Problem solved.

Good Luck,
Henry

i'm guess that it's too short----won't reach the fan----because the v-6 sits so much further than the 8.

i had the same problem and decided to go with an electric fan.  Problem solved, much more room.  Haven't looked back.

It is a two piece and thats exactly right the  new shroud wont go over the fan plus the shape is a little different. as in repairing it that wont work to many missing pieces. i will check with a chevy dealer. but welcome more comments.

Where did you get that part number? You should have a two piece fan shroud.
