I'm looking to buy a new short shaft water pump for my 1962 235 engine, that I put into my 53 pickup. The more I look the more confused I get. My old pump cleared the radiator just fine, and used an original 15 inch fan. Most dealers have no stock on the pumps. Chevys of the 40s appears to have them in stock, their number 3741033LP. But their description says that you must use a different fan. They call it a mechanical fan. But they don't actually sell the fan. I just want to keep this simple, and as stock as possible. My old pump has a chunk broken out of the inlet nipple, but I think there's enough left to clamp the hose to. The pulley is also bent, and it's spot welded on. The Chevys of the 40s pump comes with a 7 inch pulley which is larger than the one on my old pulley. Can any of you guys simplify this a little for me. Mother Truckers apparently sell the pumps too, but I can't find a site for them.
