My 85 k10 5.7 currently has a flex fan and it’s insanely loud and I’m sure it’s stealing a little power. Wanting to see what yalls stock fan shape is. I don’t have a/c but will be wanting to add it back. Not sure if that makes a difference. I’ve see 3 blade and 5 blades. Thanks!

I had the same setup. A few years ago I went back to a clutch fan setup with OE 5 blade. Pulled it out of the junk yard. My engine sounded like a jet engine when I was in high rpm and slow speed when I was towing.

Plus when cruising at 60-65 mph that thing does not need to be going the same speed as the engine with all that air movement across the radiator.

I can take a pic of my fan of you want but it's just a 5 blade radiator fan? Nothing special about the way it looks.

Yeah, if you don’t mind I’d like to see it! Thanks

I have factory HD cooling and I think the stock fan is a 6 or 7 blade metal fan and one piece shroud. I added a severe duty fan clutch when the old one went bad, and now have an aluminum Champion radiator from Jegs. It really works well, even when the A/C is putting a load on the system.

I think LMC may sell OEM design metal fans. They probably aren’t the cheapest source, but they usually have what you need. For the fan clutch you can get it from Autozone, etc.

I'll try to remember it today. And it could be six blade or whatever the other guy said they were, I am not sure really. I do know it's a factory fan off a V8 square body.

Well, this fan came off an 85. Hole spacing is 1 1/2" hole to hole and 2 1/8" diagonally. All measurements are center to center of hole. Fan measures just a bit over 19" diameter. Has already been cleaned and painted. Original GM fan, not a china virus knockoff. There it is! 70.00 bucks shipped!:cheers:
