I'm sure mine's got studs and nuts not bolts. I'll have to see if I can extract studs and replace with bolts then!

Cheers

Just double nut it and walk the stud out.

Everything looks great. Did you ever run the fan without the shroud? I've got dual 12" fans on mine now, without a shroud and was curious how much it helped cool with the shroud.

No, it doesn't pull nearly enough air without a shroud.

I kinda figured that. I have duals and they are rated at around 3100 cfm and they barely keep the truck cool at low speeds.

Shroud is Key - I will be building a new one for this truck since I've changed to a different style radiator
