Also see Power Steering Pumps and Alternator Brackets
I believe the PS pump Blundell uses is from a late model LS1, as used on Corvettes and Camaros; the one used on late GTOs was also very small with remote reservoir.
If you have a flathead with car-type belts (two narrow belts vs. one fat, one narrow) it would be real easy to add a pump bracket off the driver's side head.

I agree, you would think it fan vibration would destroy the bearings really quickly. I'm gonna call the guy in the link you posted monday and aslo call my local napa. They are great about finding parts my my ole girl. (Darla)

Ron, these are the best pics I could get. You can see the pump but not much of the bracket. You can also see the pulley I machined to move the fan out so It does not run afoul of the belt. Bracket is 3/16" steel. *If I did it all again I would make the rough bracket, get my pump, make it work with the bracket and put it in place then make my pulley so it lined up with the crank and go. This is basically what I did even with the Blundell stuff. *I will dig through my emails for any from Blundell, you may find something there to help you. Let me know what I can do to help. Good luck.*

The thread I linked to, and the pictures 55 F350 posted, were for a similar thread on the Flathead Forum. Bottom line, the original unit was huge compared to anything modern, and neither the brackets nor the rest of the system are available as best the forum members could find. I'm not sure, but I also believe it used a third sheave on the crank pulley.
It would take less time to build one than to find all the pieces and you'd have a modern unit, not the leaky old integral reservoir type.

Thanks for all the help guys. I looked at a pump from a camry 70 bucks and it looks about the right size.The lines should be easier with the toyota gear box. Make a bracket and pully. Kit from classic haulers for all the other stuff. About a grand total. I will start getting parts after the new year. I'll post picture as I go.
