I need a little guidance here, My truck is a 1997 K1500 Extended cab with the 3rd door 5.7 motor

I had to replace the radiator after an accident with a deer back in November

The radiator that came out was 1 1/2 inch thick core, and I must have gotten a heavier duty one, which is 2.25" thick core.

Which fan shroud do I need? Will a stock 5.7 shroud work? I got a shroud from work but that truck had a smaller engine so it doesnt fit on my fan properly

I replaced my single core for duel core in my 96 K1500. Nothing else needed to be changed.

My 99 Tahoe came factory with the dual core, 34" core radiator.

I put a dual core 93-95ish 454 G30 van radiator into my 97 van and although GM did not use a dual core in the small block Express vans, the mounts and fan shroud were already built for it

Mine may as well be to, seemless transition.

I got a correct Radiator from Oreilly for it, its just the thicker heavy duty which is fine, but the fan shroud for the 5.0 seems to be a different size than the one for the 5.7?
