Default Need Help, Missing a FAN

Anyone out there got a radiator cooling fan laying around. I need a replacement fan blade for a C5 I am working on. I am short a fan to get it going today. Wrecking yards are all closed today, the blade is a dealer item so no parts stores will have it, I am 99% sure its the same as what is used in a F body.

Hey tom I gave a fan setup to Tyler smith about 6 months ago and I'm not sure if he's done anything with it. I'll text him and see if I can get ahold of it.

Great! Call my cell if you find him and if he has it, if it fits I can get this C5 running today and off my rack! Tell him I will replace the fan blade once I get a replacement.

Thanks to Tyler and Charlie for coming through with a fan blade! Now I just need to get a new fuel rail and fix a minor methanol leak and we are ready.
