Absolutely true, Thanks Bill!

For those that don't know, the C/P trucks have a mount-pad on the top of the water pump for mounting the Fan and drive pulley.

The pickups didn't have it. The 239 water pump will only fit on the 239 timing cover. (and the 272/292 pumps will only fit on the the respective timing cover)

I am told that a 239/256 timing cover will fit on a 272/292 block. I had both but didn't try it.

I bought my last P-series "high-mount" (fan) pump from Rock Auto a few years ago. They only had a few left and now they're all gone.


I have subsequently decided to not use a high-mount fan, (and sold the pump to a very grateful guy here in Wa)

So I am now using the most commonly available (truck) water pump for my 1960 292 that is going in my 55 F-600.

If anyone has old Y-block water pumps, DON'T just throw them away!



Regards,


Rick
