Lugnutz Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hey there! My water pump failed. Fan blade ruined my radiator and my fan blade is ruined. But hey, I got it home in one piece - errr . . . . not exactly . . . my fan blades are laying on the interstate. So I have not yet exhausted my options for a parts yard fan blade. . . . but I have not found one yet. Should I go electric? Anyone done that and have advice for me? Quote Link to comment

bilzbobaggins Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I just saw your reply. The fan blade was all aces. It was a 85, not 86 as well. I dont think ill have time to go soon though. Got a lot of stuff going on. You should ride down this way. Jeff Quote Link to comment

As far as extra time, yeah, I'm short on that too. I got a 65 Chevy 1/2 ton I'm restoring, so it gets all my extra time. I figure my 720 is jealous and that's why she's giving me trouble lately. I might have to hit the PAP in other cities with a road trip if a blade doesn't turn up soon. LOL!! Thanks for the help. :thumbup: Check out the website: www.lugnutz65chevystepside.weebly.com Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Go with a fan blade. Simpler, works perfect, and less to break down. Electric fan adds complexity wiring fuse switch and mounting etc. Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 ***UPDATE*** Got my new fan blade! Buddy of mine found the correct fan blade in the Pull a Part in Charlotte. Thanks to all who tried to help. FYI: He says that fan blade is on 80-83 200SX 83-89 Pickups and 87-89 Pathfinders with a 4 cylinder Quote Link to comment
