I have a 1986 custom deluxe 4.3 L vortec 2wd Automatic w/o air . The fan shroud needs to be replaced. I ordered one through summit racing part number is gm3110101. 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. Cant find it in local junk yards either.

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.

I got one free in NW Indiana if you can pick it up, came out of my 86
-
I would be glad to pay you for it and shipping along with your time.

Also looking for a set of headers have stock manifold now. I believe it would really help my duals and performance

I have search the internet using that part number with no luck. I live in knoxville Tn. if anyone has one for sale or has any ideas on how to find one your help would be greatly appreciated. i have had no luck at junk yards either. thanks Smitty31

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

please disregard last post i was trying to figure out how to add quotes to my messages
-
well back to square one. After a week GM notifies me the my fan shroud is discontinued. Something i already new. Any help from anyone would be great.
-
are you looking for the top or bottom or both? Post pics of the one you have.
-
For sure the bottom it's broke bad the top is descent. But I'd prefer top and bottom I will post pics today after work

Great news shroud found in a junk yard in Minnesota. Found this great web site car-parts.com They are connected to salvage yards all over the US. even in Canada and Mexico. The shroud was 25 and 25 to ship it with no tax. I have never seen so many c10's before it was awesome being able to browse all these different yards. 8)

car-parts.com the slash inbetween car and part is needed to help identify web site.

Well, if the right shroud is not available on the net parts suppliers, you are going to have to see if there are any available on junkyards that advertise on the net....and call any of your local junkyards to see if they have any 80s Chevy trucks. What about that shroud that Zieg85 offered? Are you sure you cant effect repairs on your existing ones?...are they missing big chunks or what?
Regards,
Henry
-
Thanks for answering henry. Big chunks where missing and zieg85 is in nw indiana. But read above I found the greatest junkyard car-part.com. Not really a yard itself but shows parts all over the US.

Hi Smitty:
Sorry, I did not see your last posts that you found some shrouds on an on-line junkyard. Hopefully it will be the right ones.
Good luck,
Henry
