Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 110 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2023 Posts: 110 | I just picked up a 1950 3100 truck with a 1960 235 engine according to the block number.
It has a overheating problem
I purchased an adapter from DAVIS SPEED EQUIPMENT if you brouse the website you'll see the application and a new water pump that raises the fan up about 4 inches so it's more centered on the radiator.
I'm having problems locating a replacement fan as the new waterpump shaft is 1 inch and previous water pump was 5/8.
Has anyone else experienced this tabackle.
I'm not a machinist so please don't give me reccomendation to drill etc.
Stuck in garage forever
Jim

It comes with a 3/8" pulley.
