Newbie Needs Water Pump
Hello all, I'm Howard, I'm a new "Fridge" owner, and I need a support group for my new addiction
I have a 58 F100 with 292 and 3 on the tree. I am very surprised at the availability of most of what I have needed so far. The snag I have come to is locating a water pump with 3/4" bearing shaft (at least that's what it measures where the pulley slides over). Many places have the 5/8" shaft but none can get the 3/4. Is this an odd ball thing? Would the 5/8" work if I can find a pulley for it?
Thanks for any support you can offer.
By the way, anyone else located in upstate NY?

There are water pump rebuild kits available through the usual suspects.
Here's one for trucks?

That's where I have gotten everything so far, but all they have available is the 5/8" bearing shaft version. Thanks Marc.

The car one: A1 Cardone Remanufactured Water Pumps 58-235 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
I think this is the truck version. I suggest calling them. It used to be part AAZ-58-234, but it doesn't show up.

An old post from Number Dummy:
Be aware of what you are buying, most ebay sellers haven't a single clue what parts fit.
For example, cars use a different Y block water pump than the trucks.
1954 truck 239/256 Y block pump (EAT-8501-B) is 1954 only. 1955 239/256 pump (B6T-8501-B) is the same as 1956 272 H/D.
1957/61 272/292 C Series Tilt Cabs use a specific water pump (B7T-8501-A).
B6C-8501-B .. Y Block Water Pump / Obsolete
1956/60 F100/600 272 M/D / 1957/64 F100/700 292 / 1962/64 292 C Series Tilt Cabs.

Yep. Btw, when you discover your crankshaft damper is lunched (nod your head "yes") guess where the ONLY manufacturer for Y block dampers is located?
I don't get it either, for some reason the Y block truck water pumps are hard to source.

I did a quick search for B6C-8501-B and located two possible sources.
Green Sales Company, Cincinnatti, Ohio, 513-294-8385 reports 4 in stock. Green handles a lot of obsolete Ford parts. I have not used them but they are pretty well known.
Collectors Auto Supply, Oroville, Washington, 800-414-4462 reports 1 in stock.
Hope that helps,

Sparkplugless, I had the same problem with finding a rebuild pump. Although many places list them as available, when I tried to order, they all came back "no cores available". So, getting yours rebuilt is a good solution.
