If you try CRAPA or anywhere else ask for a '62 F-100 or F-250 Waterpump because most places do not list a '57 pump but do the truck pump and I ended up getting a '57 Cast Numbers Match doing that, I got it from Car Quest Auto Parts.

I would not mind trying to do rebuild of water if I could find the kit,I have SW balancer and impeler set up.Funny story;did a lot shit chopper wheels for Hattrist yatchs,there heads were shacking. They sent me 20 shitchopper impelers to balance,after they sent 20 more,but never any after that,I think they found a new head supply.

Just remember in all this the that heavy duty truck is different from pass car, T-bird and pickup. The HD truck has a larger dia shaft, bigger bearings and different casting with gussets to support the heavy belts used in the HD trucks.

Chuck. Dunno how you got clocking out of this but balancing and making the impeller run true is a big deal. A wobble or out of balance impeller will eat up the bearing and seal pretty quickly.

Back in the 50's and 60's I rebuilt a number of water pumps but hadn't heard about any difficulty in "clocking" the impeller. Was that another thing I missed in my youth? Chuck

Thanks for the tip 56ranchwgn, ordered new one from Mac's $85, saw your post and called back and they gave me the $20 off. I'm not a purist, I just want it to work properly. I have several cores on 292s lying around. Anyone interested in them for a few $. Could deliver to Carlisle PA Spring or All Ford. Most engines are 60s F100 truck complete with bell housings if other parts are needed.

I agree due delligence is important because it should be in everything, I have a correct core as my spare pump (The one on the car is correct) and I have found a local machinist that rebuilds pumps if the customer will supply the repair kit. I have been checking sources for the correct kit (1957) as the later "y" pumps take a different kit and those can be found.

The purist should use due diligence to determine if his is in fact original and then spend a little more and have his rebuilt by someone who will guarantee that his core is returned, to ensure that the right one is used. A simple exchange for a rebuilt pump may not get the "right" one. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised to get a rebuilt Chinese pump in exchange.
