: No fan shroud in 67 ?

In the search I did it was stated that in 66 the factory did not use a fan shroud. Is this true also for a 67 283 ? I am doing a frame off on a unmolested 67 and there is no fan shroud and I just can't believe that I have every part to this car except for the fan shroud. Which makes me believe that it never had one. Is this correct?

A quick look through a '67 assembly manual shows that a fan shroud was used on A/C equipped cars.

No fan shroud on my '67 283/PG (non A/C) Sedan. Originally purchased this car from the woman who bought it new with 44K documented miles.
It does have the spacer that bolts between the radiator and the rad support.

Thanks guys ! Once again the ACE'S crew helped me out. I have no A/C but I do have the spacer.

I have a 67 Malibu, 283, 4sp, no air I bought new in Dec,66. No shroud (although it has one now). I kept mine bone stock for years, but now I'm strtring to add things like a 4bbl carb, alum radiator, fan shroud, led tail lites.

uhhh Yes, it should. that was what was already stated I believe.. Cars with AC, cars with SMOG, Cars which have a HD 4 row .. all should have shrouds and No Finger Guards... ;) talking 66 and 67

My 67 never had a finger guard, pretty sure. I've had it since 12/66.

My 67 Malibu with A/C and 283 came with a steel shroud. I'll replace it with a plastic shroud when the big-block is finished.
