Water pump frozen??? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I got the new engine in my 68 C10 I double checked with the mechanic about putting antifreeze in it. I even called him before the cold snap hit us last night. Well today my wife starts up the truck and the cab fills with smoke. She popped the hood and found the fan belt melted and broken. The fan will not turn by hand. WTH???? If it has antifreeze in it, why would the pump freeze? The pump is brand new. I live in SC, so this cold is rare here. The engine is a 1972 350. I hope my new engine has not been damaged. It only has 500 miles on it. Anyone else have any ideas?
