Nick,
My fan came from a Chrysler "K" car. The support for it included an A/C
coil section so I cut it off and it fit perfectly. I mounted it in front of
the radiator, wired it to a switch so I can cut it on and off as I please.
It is mounted with wire ties and has never given me any problems in the 6
years it's been on.
Hope this helps you with the search...
