6 blade fan? Help?

Has anyone got a line on a 6 blade fan to fit my 401 nailhead on my '60 Lesabre?

I've heard a 6 blader from a '59 Caddy would bolt up. My mechanic doesn't like the newer aluminum 6 blade flex jobs and I've heard some bad things about them too so I would rather go old 6 blade as opposed to a new one. Thanks in advance.

any 6 bladed fan from any GM product will bolt up to your water pump hub , they were all the same pattern. i'd start off with a bone yard search.

Thanks Wolfspupsdad. I can probably dig one up on Ebay then. It was the bolt pattern thing I was most concerned about, thanks for answering that question for me!

After I take care of the fan issue the next item to tackle will be finding a shroud which i suspect will be a tougher puzzle to figure out.

measure your radiator , while out in the bone yards look at caddy , olds and buicks for the fan shroud. GM didn't use one shroud for just buicks , alot of that sort of stuff was interchangiable. good luck on your search
