I am trying to get my 66' c-60 to quit overheating,when I got it, it didn't have a mechanical fan. I am trying to put one on it but the radiator that I put in it is interfearing with the blades. Does anyone know where to get the right radiator for this truck? It has a 292 in it with a 4 speed C-4 tranny.Thanks, Jeff :confused:

Most radiator shops would be able to get a radiator for it. Was the radiator on the truck when you got it or was it missing? if it was on did it have an electric fan or none at all?Had the water pump been replaced and is it the correct one?

When I got the truck, It had the rong rad in it and it was bad so I replaced it with a new one that works but it is not the right one. It didn't have ANY fan on it and I put 2 elec fans on it and is has a new water pump and all hoses and heater core.I am also not running a thermostat. Thanks, Jeff

no thermostat is your overheating problem, and one that "works" doesn't mean one the correct capacity for the engine/truck - start over, make it all right and let us know what the problems are then! you could start at a wrecking yard, find a correct original rad, if it's not good, get it rebuilt, put the correct fan on and put a thermostat in - if it still overheats we'll help ya figure out what's wrong w/ the engine
