1979 C10 Short bed truck with 350 and automatic.
The previous owner installed a radiator with a electric fan (fan was hard wired) I rewired it with a t-stat. The radiator is not OEM and does not fit, moves back and forth. The top mounts were bent down to hold it in place, a very sloppy install.
I want to install a new radiator and keep the electric fan, I like the room and less pull on the engine. Can I go back in with the OEM radiator that will fit the mounting brackets and install a new electric fan or 2 electric fans?
Anyone have a electric fan mod on their truck?

Only one fan was installed. I want to get more coverage with 2 fan or one larger fan.

You can get a radiator that was made for the truck and fit in there. There are several posts on electric fans here, I am using a setup on mine from Perma Cool:
