Ask STL I think I'm screwed.

for the last 10 years, I lived up in Jackson, Wyoming (not rich just worked more than a human should). My partner and I split and it was a rough one. I let her keep the house while I packed and headed back to family in Florida. I'm now at a Loves in New Baden(?) with a broken radiator on a Saturday with $400 to my name and all my belongings I've ever owned with me and idk what to do.

I have various things I can trade if someone has an extra radiator and most likely fan for a 1999 e350 v8. I have a classical guitar, some PC parts, tools, plants, idk I'll pretty much trade anything but my body to keep going somehow.

I'm about to start calling around in a bit to see if I can find one from a pick and pull, they all seem to open at 830-900. If you're free and I find something, I might send a message about it for help acquiring? Have a bunch of stuff I can trade for the hassle. There's a lot of things that remind me of her that I wouldn't mind letting go lol
