So, my '49 panel, has a '56 235 in it. I didn't put it in there, it came that way from the junk yard.
This fall, my water pump started to leak an enormous amount, so I bought a reman 235 pump, and stuck the 216 pulley onto the "new" pump and cut the extra shaft off.
Today, just as I pulled off the highway, I heard a terrible racket up front, and pulled over.
Much to my chagrin, I found that the hub had parted ways with the pulley. No radiator damage, which makes me pretty happy!
Now I'm curious, has this happened to any of you-all?
It looks coppery-ish in the break, so I assume that the two pieces were brazed together, was this done at the factory, or has this been repaired before?
Here are a few pictures:
