Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

So today in broad daylight,someone stole the radiator right out of my truck. Here my engine is almost done and this **** happens. WTF is wrong with people these days? This sucks so bad. So short of spending 400 bucks on a new radiator,what aftermarket replacement rad if any,will fit into a 66? Just when things start to look good,BLAM!
Thanks guys

Damn, man, that is bad luck! You are right, people don't respect others property any more. Hope you can find a replacement.

I just found one in LMC but it's still close to 300 bones.
If I ever catch someone walking in my yard,there will be bad things happening

You guys rock!!!! Thanks

Re: Someone stole my f-ing radiator!!!!!!!!
 

John, that frickin sucks! Oh well, hopefully the bad karma will catch up with the thief eventually....

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

sucks balls man! That's the same rad I have though, fits perfect in the bottom mounts, and you just have to get some L shaped brakets or soemthing for the uppers. The top of the rad sits flush with the sheetmetal... its perfect.

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

Sorry to hear about the bad luck...those things seem to happen at the worst time. I send you a PM regarding a source for a factory replacement.

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

so sorry to hear about your troubles man, people like that need a good 9 mm in their ars.... would make em think twice about it second time around.

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

I had the same crap happen to me almost! I took the old rad out, thank god it was bad. But either way it was stolen from me too! The Karma did catch up to those guys, they stole 2 other radiators from a local junkyard and tried turning all of them in. They got snagged for trying to turn in 3 copper radiators. I don't know what is wrong with people today. My new truck has a rifle holder going across the back window, I'm tempted to use it for what it was meant to be! :)

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

Must be the same guys that made off with this stuff from my shop...I never did see any of it surface at the local swap meets or on craigs list or eBay. They made off with all of this stuff and many other parts from my collection of 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks at my shop.

I feel for you and hopefully you are able to nab the dirty rats who snagged your radiator. Let me know if I can help.

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

That sucks, good luck on finding a new rad.

Re: Someone stole my f-ing radiator!!!!!!!!
 

I was looking at this one myself, the only thing is I don't need the tranny cooler since my truck is standard and he doesn't offer any without the cooler???

Cut off their arms, what is wrong with this country, our economy sucks, our crime is terrible due to the economy and soft laws and there are no jobs, what the he!!.

The editor of our street rod book had his garage broken into two nights back. Stole his Porsche, crashed it, stole his battery charger and a welder!

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!

They are stealing radiators and catalytic converters...brings big money at the recycle place!!!!!

I know of 2 places here local that had the cats cut off from under their work vehicles and one buddy who has a bunch of junk Mercedes he sells parts from had all his stolen one night.

Cordless sawzall, a drug habbit and huge balls is all it takes!!!!

Re: Someone stole my radiator!!!!!!!!
 

They are also stealing transmission housings from local rebuilders. I hear htey are getting about 60 bucks a pop for them.

Re: Someone stole my f-ing radiator!!!!!!!!
 

So would this one bolt right in...no problem? Has anyone here used this exact one before?
