[63 fan shroud needed]

I have one if you are not looking for pure stock. It was the type that was open at the bottom, and I closed it in with fiberglass. Additionally I cut it fore and aft on each side, bolted on small pieces of half inch angle iron which can be bolted together, allowing the top half of the fan shroud to be lifted off for easy access to the fan/water pump.

[What spare tire?]

What size spare will fit in the well of my 63? I'm running 215/75R15s on 6" wheels, and they are too wide to accommodate the spare tire cover. Looking at Ford donut spares, but with the last big Ford  discontinued after about 2011 or so, junkyard donuts are getting too long in the tooth to use. Looking at maybe a 165/80R15 on an original Avanti steel wheel, but I wonder if there its a problem with the TT rear end if the rolling diameter of the rear wheels are different. (of course, If I had a rear flat I could put one of the fronts on the rear, and the spare on the front, I guess. 🙂
