After identifing the engine code I determined it was a 59. I ordered the water pump for it from the casting number on the water pump and by engine number and the pump fit except it is about 1 inch longer than the original pump.
I looked at another forum and there was another 53 truck owner asking the same question and one suggestion other than ordering a short shaft version pump was to press the hub on further and cut off the excess shaft. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | When a 55 up 235 is installed in an earlier truck you must use a shortened water pump. I believe the instructions are in the tech portion of this websight. 
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
