Fords Grabber Orange is close. Also no one will know the orange you paint your truck is a Chebbie color.

That does look good, Roy. Did you have that much more room in the front of the engine bay for the bigger radiator? And, why did you go with a flex fan instead of a fan clutch?

thanks Doug :wavey: it's a straight swap, just had to move the radiator brackets to the other option mounting place, you might be able to see in the pic. The heights are the same, the lenghts are different. The old one was 22 1/2" and the new is 28 1/2" from how I measured, no problem for room (Ford designed the front to accept either rad depending on cooling options) Went with the flex fan to reduce the weight and load on the pump bearing. And it looks so much better :)
