I have exhausted all places on the internet to try and find a 26" fan shroud for my non a/c 340 duster.. Is there any other Mopar fan trail that will come close?Maybe with some modifications.
Suggestions needed thanks
 
I've heard a slant six shroud mounted upside-down works but have never tried. Maybe someone can confirm?
 
Not sure how original you are looking for, but a good tin smith could make one. We had that done on a vintage firetruck and it worked great.
 
I built one "prefab." Get a local sheet metal/ furnace shop to bend you up a simple pan. Measure carefully what you want. Figure the circumferance of the fan, and have them give you a long strip of sheet appropriate width, say, 2 or 3" and long enough to "go round." Have them "tab" one side. Get the thing mounted, determine the fan center, and cut a hole with clearance. Run the tabbed material around, and pop rivet some of the tabs around. Of course it won't look stock. But they work

For sure they are NOT common out there for an A body! Are you looking for #3673820? there was one on B bodies on july 6th and one on for C bodies. If this is the part number check on the other Mopar sites...they are out there but pretty rare.

I took plywood and dartboard, covered with 6mm plastic, got some stretchy fabric from a fabric store, brushed 2 or 3 coats of fiberglass resin. Popped it off the mold, reinforced the inside with fiberglass mat until thick enough. Added my side brackets and painted. I’m sure I would do a few things different but still worked out great.
