Water Pump Replacement Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Is it possible not to remove the radiator to replace a water pump on a 454 C-10? Perhaps I can just get away by removing the shroud. Seems to be a lot a room to work around it.

Just be sure you don't hit the radiator with the fan when you remove it ...
I did stupid on my former 66 Buick Skylark , the result was that the fan was off , but the radiator was toasted

By chance , I could repair it with a little solder , as these rads were made of brass...
