Charlie69 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 phatdave, What else are you in need of for your truck? I have been making weekend raids on a 76 620 KC here in Phoenix. If the truck has it I will do my best to purchase it and get it shipped to you. Just let me know. Been where you are at and many people helped me out in my time of need. No income makes it ruff. May God be with you. Charlie Link to comment
phatdave Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi Charlie, The only parts I really need after my radiator are the heater hoses. The two that run from the block to the heater. You guys don't know how much this touches me, Seriously! If you choose to do it, I will pay you back when I'm back to driving truck. THANKS, Dave Link to comment
dat620 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 dave just get recovered and keep on doin the right thing, u got a second chance , make the best of it..GOD bless..tom Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Dave, Help is not charity, help is what people who can help are supposed to do for other people that require a hand. As dat620 said " you got a second chance" enjoy life and please remember you can help people in many ways. There was a time when I was in college (I was 34 at the time) I stopped to help a young mother and child with a flat. Well long story short bad spare = 5 new tires for her car. I could not leave her stranded with her 2 year old. This is how life should be people helping people. You will have your new radiator hoses on Friday waiting for you at the Nissan dealer you gave me the number for. I hope that this will get you up and driving as soon as your health allows you. Please let me know how much you would like for the tranny hardware. You are being watched by an angel and you have a purpose here. Enjoy life Dave. I enjoyed talking with you the other night.

dat620 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 dave radiator on the way to ya, it's a three core, better for flow and cooling, at least here it is, should be fine for u there, take care and get better soon , do not over exert yourself, follow your doctors orders and all will be fine, GOD bless u and yours..tom :) Link to comment

phatdave Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Tom....Charlie...you gave me a bit of hope. THANKS!!! redeye...we WILL touch you oneday...relax ppeters....the real Dave was so inspired by all of this, he went outside and worked on his 620. If my wife saw what I was doing I would never hear the end of it. I jacked it up ( with factory jack) took out the stands, opened the cyclone gate,drove it out with the starter. The back yard where it was , is loaded with dog landmines. It's where I can get at it now. Thanks for the words and help! Dave Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Good to see you back to work on it :D Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hey Dave, I just got off the phone with Brian and you heater hoses are ordered. Please call Brian and give him your phone # so he can call you when they come in. May God be with you Dave. Charlie Link to comment
phatdave Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Charlie, Thanks bro. PM with your address and I will ship you the bolts and bits . Give me an idea as to the big bolts you need and I will dig through my bolt bucket. You ever make it up here, bring Tom with you and I'll put you two up, say for Canby! Dave Link to comment
phatdave Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Well it seems Charlie ( Charlie69) bought me heater hoese from Brian @ Nissan in PDX. When I talked to Brian he said he lives about 10 miles from me. When the hoses come in, hes going to drop them by so I don't have to go pick them up. Okay where is the camera ? You guys are Punking me right ? Good Job Mike! I know you are up to this! :mellow: Dave Link to comment

phatdave Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Don't suppose you could use some guitar lessons ? Seriously I'm taking it to heart man. I'm going to go back to the Rehab center I stayed at and do some volunteer work. They need people to escort other patients. It's my start! Dave Link to comment
dat620 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 thats what it's all about. u go bro, get r done...:D thx tom Link to comment
phatdave Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Tom, Hey I got the radiator today. Thanks a million. I was like a kid at Christmas. I stood and told the postman the whole story. He was impressed. ....but, I'm having a hard time with fitment.Seems bigger and the holes don't seem to want to line up. Has anybody here put a newer rad. into an early 620? Help here gang. dave :unsure: Link to comment
ppeters914 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 ....but, I'm having a hard time with fitment.Seems bigger and the holes don't seem to want to line up. Has anybody here put a newer rad. into an early 620? Help here gang. Wasn't there a thread about this several months ago? I gotta scoot. Maybe someone else can do the search.... Link to comment
dat620 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 as i said it's a 3 core, bigger thickness and size, all i've ever done is drill new holes, and or trim out core support slightly, new holes should do it , if it does not work, i'll get the other one to ya, it's just a 2 core and stock size also, i just wonder if here in the southwest if they sent trucks with bigger radiators due to cooling in the desert??, it came out of my 75 reg cab, just bolted to stock location, what year is yours?? let me know, i would rather not have u worry about fitment right now, unless some one in your area wants to help u out with fitment/ install..:) tom Link to comment
phatdave Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I might talk a buddy into helping me. I tried, but after 1/2 hour of bending and stooping and layin on the ground I had to take a break. I might try again tomorrow. I'd love to have the extra cooling capacity of that radiator. Not might, I WILL try again tomorrow. dave Edited February 18, 2009 by phatdave cuz Link to comment
