Need photo of '54 Chev engine

Hi, all.

I am currently looking at recoring the radiator on my '54 Chev 3100 pickup. The thing is it appears that a portion of the fan blade spins about 1/3 below the bottom of the rad! The rad seems original and is seated as far down as it can go in its holding frame. Either the the engine was installed low for some reason (not original, rebuilt '57 /235) or that's the way it normally comes from the factory(?) Don't know.

What I'm looking for is a picture of a couple of engine compartments for that year truck to determine whether this is the case or not.

Any info and pictures are appreciated.
