Do not use a press to install the pulley, you will destroy the pump. The pulley can only be installed by threading a stud into the center hole and then tightening a nut down against the pulley. You must do it this way as if you try and use a bolt it will destroy the threads. This can actually be done at home with an air impact very easily. Thread a piece of allthread in, lube the outside of the shaft and the inside bore of the pulley with light oil, put the pulley over the stud, install a few washers with some grease on them and then thread a nut on and tighten until the pulley is seated. It is actually very simple. Hawkrod

Hawkrod,
Hey just in case this pulley doesnt work, did you ever have a chance to find your spare pulley? Because if it doesn't work then i would be willing to fork out 50 big ones for yours.

My wife is gonna kill me or divorce me once she finds out how much money I have spent on this truck...

Yes, I have a pulley if you need it. Hawkrod

***Update*** This morning when I was putting the pulley on the new pump I put the brackets on the pump as well because well they were bolted to the old nasty pump which was on the truck in the first place, well I come to find out when i'm ready to bolt the pump to the water pump and engine that the powersteering pump brackets are for those with a 351 not an FE like I have so to make a long story short, I'm s.o.l. until i find a bracket for the p/s pump. That's been my luck with this truck.

Hawkrod, you wouldnt happen to have a spare bracket laying around would you???

Sounds like you are having it rough! I do have brackets, what year and engine is it? If it is a 68/9 does it have AC? There are several versions unfortunately but I should have it. Hawkrod

The weird thing is that on ebay I looked them up and it showed the bracket that I have as fitting a 390FE which the one I have doesn't. Anyways, I have a 1968 F-100 w/ a 390FE 2wd and no A/C. Hope this helps and I do appreciate it.

ebay description may not alway sbe correct as you now know from personal experience.

Post the item number of the auction so I can see what you are looking at. Here is a 70 and newer one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayI ... 0297493057. 68 would be a two piece cast iron affair although the one I linked to above works fine on all 65-76 FE's. Hawkrod

Hawkrod,

Here is an item number from ebay, would this one work? The one you have posted i actually have but it fits a 351 water pump and not a 390, the bolt holes do not line up. The seller says this one is off a car 390

Item number: 200281672774

Hey guys,

Going to add to this thread. I'm dropping in a 351 windsor in my truck and need a pulley for it. I have the correct 351 bracket. Anyone got an idea of the pulley stamp number? Will a 302 pulley work?

Thanks,
Patrick

It depends on the 351 you have. 69 car engines and early 70's truck engines have 3 bolt crank pulleys and those use 65-69 289/302 pulleys but most 70 and newer engines use 4 bolt crank pulleys and those use pulleys from 70 or newer 302 or 351 or even 429/460 (Ford was standardizing then). Hawkrod

Hawkrod,
I went to the bone yard and found a bracket for the ps pump but the one I found was for a 390 w/ ac and mine does not have air. the pump bolts up fine to the bracket but I dont know if it will cause the pully to be misaligned. I did thread a pulley on it and unfortunately it does not line up with everything else. I will end up needing the pulley and any other advise you may have. Thanks again

i haven't seen a smallblco bracket. only in pictures. i would guess they are close to the fe bracket. maybe you could shim the bracket away from the engine to make the pulley line up.

If you got the sheet steel bracket from a 70 and later 390 they are the same with or without AC. Trucks without AC just use a thick spacer behind the bracket where it bolts to the head. What is the number on the pulley you got? Hawkrod

Looks like the pulley has an (A8) stamped in it and the bracket was from a 70 I believe but I do not have any spacer for the head. I bolted it up to the head and it seemed fine but what do I know...
