91.5 radiator and clutch fan, need help asap

Driving my truck this morning the clutch fan apparently let go and I have blades in the radiator, and antifreeze everywhere. A buddy of mine hauled it home with his stroke.. I have called everywhere in the state for a radiator. I can only find new for 500 bucks and three days shipping it here. I need the truck asap. What other radiator will fit in these trucks with some modifications? Would a ram charger work?
How does one get the clutch fan off the truck while keeping the pulley from spinning?
Any help its extremely appreciated!
Thanks,wheelo

fan is left hand thread if you dont have a set of fan clutch tools use a large pair of channel locks and a wrench hit the wrench with a hammer .as for the rad I got one from napa for $200 and change they had it in stock other then that I buy them from the radiator barn .com

At our O'Riley's you can rent a set of fan clutch tools. They work like a champ and when you take them back you get all your money back so in the end it's free rental.

Hello all, got the clutch fan apart, was very simple when I devised my own little way of tearing it apart. Thanks everyone!
Got another question, would the radiator out of a 93 work? At the moment I made one out of a non ic work.
Thanks everyone!
Wheelo
