67 Small Block Fan Shroud

[Randy R.]

Can someone tell me if the fan shroud as described below is an original piece for a 67 or if it is a reproduction?

It is black in color. The adhesive used to join the pieces is medium gray. The hole for the top center mounting bolt measures 3/8 in. Some numbers are present on the rear surface of the fiberglass around this hole. There is a "3" on the left side of this hole. Located on the right side of the hole, are the numbers "8268" On the right front surface of the shroud, near the location of the J nuts, the following are present: A "DS",a "GT" the numbers "3886886", and the words "General Tire" surrounded by a large "G". On the left hand front surface of the shroud, near the J nuts, a "DS" and a "TG" are present. All numbers and letters are molded into the fiberglass.

Thank you for your assistance.

Randy

I dont think it is really possible to tell whithout looking at it. The reproductions are done from the original part and should have the same markings.

A clue would be details of the consturction, especially the edges. Reproductions tend to be ground on the edges. Originals or GM counter parts tend to have molded edges.
