7-Blade Fan?

[BobQ]

I was scrounging around the junk yard today and found an '82 6.2L (still with the original red engine) and noticed it had a 7-blade fan stamped #14033960. My '83 has a 5-blade from the factory. Is this fan a desirable fan to upgrade to? Would it be worth it to swap my 5-blade for this factory 7-blade?

Thanks!

Bob,

If I could get my hands on a 7 blade(r), I would buy it in a heartbeat, if for no other reason then to pull more air through the A/C condensor. I think it was the fan that came with the towing package. If you don't want it, I buy it from you.

Temp today down at the Southern End of the Big Valley is 106. The fan would help keep things cool.

I ended up grabbing it the next day. Figured I might as well grab it. Haven't had any cooling issues, but I thought it would be good to have just in case. Also, I thought it was interesting that this truck at the junkyard had a SM465 too. I haven't seen very many 6.2L/SM465 combos.
