Funny that you should mention that, Kent. I also ordered a 41-53 pump by mistake in the closing hour of a vendor sale (when I was in too much of a hurry) and put it away for later use. Surprise!
Thank you Jon for your recommendation.
What I ended up doing is using Filling Station's rebuild service. I know that they're making their extra cut for being the intermediary but I've been buying from them for years and trust their judgement as to rebuild quality. Maybe the original pump would continue to run for years without a rebuild, but I have a mental image of getting 5 miles down the road and springing a leak on an otherwise refurbished cooling system. This truck did sit in a barn for 40 years before I bought it. Thanks everybody!
