They make an aftermarket shroud...I haven't used them but have seen them and they look like a stock shroud.

you can get the aftermarket factory looking shroud or find one on ebay pretty easy. If you want something that actually works to pull air through the entire radiator core the factory ones are not so great. Also been looking myself for an aftermarket one that covers the entire core (sorta to create a vacum over the entire surface) The problem with the factory shroud is that it bolts down flat to the radiator and only sucks air through the round opening and does not funnel to the edges. Anyone tried anything else?

Just an FYI.....my repro fit perfectly.

where did you get it? I just bought a true connection battery tray and had to enlarge the holes and grind the corner. Wasn't too happy with the fit.

Try a 66 shroud, I used one on my 65 with a cross flow radiator and it works fine.

It would be unusual if it were a "true connection" battery tray. Most of the products sold by the different vendors, True Connections...Ground Up...Year One...NPD, etc., are made by the same people.
My shroud did come from True Connections, though.
