	Great find.

I just want to emphasize that everyone should look at any fan for possible
use.

Many years ago I was given a 15", 6 blade fan from a full size Ford so I was
told.

The markings on this fan are; Made in Canada, FoMoCo and G-65, the blades
are steel and it has a 1" center hole.

It appears to be totally stock in that I see no machine marks and the black
paint looks original and untouched; G-65 I believe is a date code, July
1965.   I wish I had more information to pass on about this fan and its
origin.   I have yet to find another like it.

The reference books I have do not indicate anything about this fan but it is
stated that Ford switched to aluminum fan blades in 1965 to decrease the
stress on the water pump bearing.
