Waterpumps with smooth pulleys

Somwhere I seen as I thought was 59BA single pulley pumps with steel instead of cast iron.
-What car came this pumps from ?
Another question, in that era to 1950 was it only one type of belt or had they wider and narrow ?
Read Drake has wider or narrow.
Maybe the narrow is a ’modern’ V-belt type.
-I ask since I has a clearance issue but my crank pulley is std and so generator pulley.
 
Don’t confuse the 59A stuff with the 8BA stuff (you say “up to 50”). Big changes in 1949, and more variety of pulley, castings, and belts.
 
So the truck 48 had the slimmer steel 1 groove ( wide ? ) pulleys.
I try to serach but could not find anything but the pumps I saw is not far away.
He said they was rare but consider nice for hotrods.
If I bought over e-bay, Hamb or here what to look after to find them.
I guess when we talk 48 its wider ( 5/8” or ? )
 
I have a pair of 37 to 48 Ford script pumps with steel pulleys appear to be original.

They may appear to be but they are not. Sometime in the past, those pulleys were replaced. Ford script? Not until 1945 as I recall.
 
Kube,
So what you mean in this ( if steel ) pulleys its not Ford std, do did I get it correct or was they out 45 ?
One said truck 47.

The "extended" 8RT truck style type pump came up with the '48 F1 series truck. They got the 8BA/8RT in truck speak motors before the cars did in '49.

I believe all trucks were wide belt drives.

Hank, Ford utilized cast pulleys at least through '48. I have no clue what happened after that.
The Ford script pumps didn't happen until 1947. My (initial) memory was incorrect in recalling '45. I had to check my research notes.

Tim your correct all Ford trucks were wide belt.
To my knowledge and so far I have never seen any tin or steel wide belt pulleys from Ford for this application.

Hank if I was doing this I would work with correct parts to accomplish this task. Trying to use the latter magnet with early parts is not very traditional or cool :rolleyes: .
