What are the odds...

Weather got real cold here last night (at least for this part of the country) and we had a real good freeze. I remembered this morning that my 90 GMC was parked outside and didn't have anti-freeze in it... I'm sure you can see where I'm going with this.

Checked it when I got home today, and the radiator was 100% ice. some water leaking on the ground. If I only have to swap out the radiator I won't be upset...it was almost due for a change.

Couldn't see any freezeplug issues. Have any of you cracked a block or heads with a similar situation without popping a freeze plug?

I'm gonna try to put a heating pad of sorts on the water pump this weekend and see if I can thaw it out. If I can, I'll get the truck into the garage for a good slow melt down. I can't start it now b/c the water pump is frozen and it would bust the serpentine belt.

Thought I'd look for some feedback - if nothing else to make me feel either worse or better. Also thought it may be relavent conversation for this time of the year.
