Slick 60's

Where is a good source for water pumps for our trucks?From what I have read and found out at local auto parts stores they are all but impossible to find.i have a few good cores I could have rebuilt if needed but would rather just buy one outright.

got mine at orielys. They had it the next day.

Thanks,I did not check there.Our local Oreillys does not have the most insightful employees.I will have to look and see.

if its the same as a car motor ? then http://www.tbirdsanctuary.com/index.php?CategoryID=5
has them .

If it is the original water pump, it is not the same as a car. However, the car pump, along with the car pulley will work perfectly.

The truck pump will have a 3/4" pilot while the car is 5/8". I think the truck pump is a little longer.

Rebuilt water pumps for Y-Blocks are easy to find. New one's however are almost impossible to find.

on the T-bird site i linked to earler they have a price for a new pump and a reman. pump.

Maybe so, but I was looking for a truck pump (not a car pump) and never found one.

You can find truck water pump repair kits from Macs or Dennis Carpenter.

Macs part# B6C-8591-KT
Carpenter part# B6C-8591-A

NAPA has them.I just picked mine up.$58 with no core.Part number is wp58234

That's funny, when I was looking for a water pump last year for my rebuild NAPA O Reilly or Carquest could not get one and I was dealing with guys who work at these houses for 20 years or more. I ended up having the guy at O Reilly sending my pump to Pennsylvania to be rebuilt. Came back and looked like a new one

I looked into getting my old one rebuilt and actually was about to send it off when I tried NAPA.The cost for a rebuild was going to be a little over $100 with shipping.I am seriously thinking of ordering a second to keep on hand.Almost any vintage item seems to be getting harder and harder to find.It took me almost two weeks to locate a C4 and Ford made hundreds of thousands of those.
