Mike,
I have a fan like the one your talking about. My 49 is converted to a 12v
system also. The thing I did was to put a reducer in the fan line and
hooked it up. Works fine except that on a hot day it just blows the hot air
off the windshield. I guess us ole truckers can take it though.
I also have the external oil system on my 235. I'd like to remove it from
my truck. I hate the way it looks. Just doesn't look normal. How do I
remove it and what do I need to do to go back to the old set up?
