Re: Daverods project 66
All the parts that have started to rust on me looked to be of good quality when I first got them but after 3 to 4 years they now have a rough rust texture that will not polish out and they have never been out in the weather as the truck is not even finished yet.
Just doesn’t seem right when the rechromed bumpers off my old Chevelle have been laying out in the weather longer and still look new. |

Got my ebay radiatior mounted. I needed a new one anyways. Put on my inner fenders from my 66 . Beat my hood into submission and sprayed on some fake patinia. I noticed my fan was bent alittle I just bent it back. Think it will be ok or does it need to be perfect? It's not to bad I'm just sure it's not the same as the other blades.

Re: Daverods project 66
Happy Memorial day to all you old Veterans:flag: Thanks again.
If the fan is out of balance it will wear out the bearings in the water pump early. If it comes apart, you don't want it stuffed into your radiator. If it's just bent out shape a little, pull the fan belt, bolt it up and just spin and watch, adjusting the bent blade until it aligns up again. Measure and compare all the blades at the same location -one at a time as you rotate things around. If that blade is bent to a flatter pitch, you better change it . Junk yard trip!! :chevy: |
Re: Daverods project 66
Great minds must think alike Bubba....and so do ours! :lol:
I thought I could run a fan in my old nova that I had "straightened" after an accident. It was bent pretty badly though. I was young and trying to save a buck. It came apart a couple of weeks later and luckily just banged around in the engine compartment, scaring the crap out of me. Lucky for me I was near home. Did a junkyard run, and that fan worked until I sold the car. Which I still regret! :banghead: Not too long after replacing the fan, the water pump went out as well, so I would suggest better safe that sorry! |

Re: Daverods project 66
Should get my truck parts on friday.:metal: I know what I'm doing this weekend.:mm: Put some new hood hinges on. Got my radiatior support and battery put in last night. Filled it up and fired it up. She's going live.;) Did'nt know they made so many different types of 4 bladed fans. What a pain. I ended up beating mine into submission. I really was'nt that bad.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
Dave, If your interested. I also have a stock OE 4 blade fan that came off my old 283 you are welcome to if you will cover shipping.

Re: Daverods project 66
Thanks Zack. Thats what I had too. The bolt pattern is alittle bit wider.? I also had another one laying around but the fan was much smaller. Thanks for the offer.
