With all the talk of fan clutches lately it got me thinking. Back in the day when we were poor college kids, replacing a fan clutch was not in the budget. Instead we would get a large "flex fan" from the local Al's Auto parts and run that instead. I had one of these on a 396 in a 1970 GMC truck for 22 years, hauling boats, campers, etc., and never had a heat issue.

Has anyone ever tried this on a GMC?
