  I can't find any reference to a radiator shroud to chanel air to the radiator in the 1946 year bible. If there is no original, does anyone know of an aftermarket shroud?

Thanks in advance!!!

  The only shrouds used are in front of the radiator. They are the panels around the area in front of the radiator, behind the grille.
If you are having cooling problems, it is likely that air flow isn't the source. For maximum efficiency, the fan should be as close as possible to the radiator, about a quarter to half an inch. Some have adapted truck shrouds, but generally they are not necessary.
