Default Fan Blade Description

Hello,
I am a newbee to the C3 section. Have a question on the fan blades. I have a fan blade and I think it is off a 71 BB, but I am not sure. It has 7 blade and pointed tips on the top of each blade. Can anyone help me identify what this blade goes to? Please PM me I may not be able to find you answere since I do not come here very often.
Thanks George

Post a picture and numbers off the fan blade.

Here is a picture of my '71 BB fan blade.

Fan blade with tips was used from 1970 thru 1973, 454 cars with A/C only.
The center hole size was smaller 1970 to very late 1971, then the larger diameter from that point forward.

If the fan is in VG condition, they sell on ebay around $400 - $600 bucks. depends on how desperate someone is. This fan is NOT reproduced and a BIG SOB to find.

Hope this helps some.

Bill

Look it over. There's probably a GM part number stamped on it.
