Jers rods &customs Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Does anyone out there have a cooling fan blade for a 1979 datsun truck ? Mine was in an accident and broke 2 blades off so now its unbalanced that is the only thing I need to get mine running again. I have searched all over and nobody has one please help if you can thank you Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Not a permanent fix... but you can remove the blades opposite the broken blades to re-balance it. :) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I think they are odd number (7) blades. Quote Link to comment
Ron1200 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yup your right Mike. I just counted 7 blades... so much for the cheap fix. :) Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yes an odd number vibrates less. Quote Link to comment
Gideon35T Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Yank off that power sucking mechanical fan and drop in a $30 single electric out of a junker. Or spend another $20 and get a 12" 1,200cfm electric. They draw about 7amps but they do a good job. Quote Link to comment
Radiant-Designer Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 cheap electric is one way to go I guess, if it were me I would replace it with a stock one. it worked well for all these years and only failed after an accident and physically broke.... just my 2 cents... In a pinch I guess an electric would be an easy fix and easy to get, but there are MANY people parting out these trucks in the for sale section. Quote Link to comment
Gideon35T Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 Though. I did pull the mechanical off my 79 620. So I have one laying around (pretty sure I saved it). Looked to be in fine shape. PM me if you want another mechanical. Quote Link to comment
pharouh Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I've got one of those blades if you need one. Quote Link to comment
