65 Water Pump update?

[DomSmith]

Anyone updated their water pump with the SOR kit? I cannot source a new one for my 65 FJ45 and it looks like SOR's kit has a newer pump and the appropriate hoses to make it work. The 45 is parked at work in LA with a bad pump and will not make the drive home.

Suggestions?

Not much help, but I bought one of the SOR kits for my 64....just haven't installed it yet.

I'm not sure which one it is but TLC of Van Nuys had an aftermarket that fit but the pulley was out farther just the slightest bit.

Have not used Marv's kit, but have done the same thing to a half-dozen trucks over the years.

I am running the 68-74 wp on my 64lwb, along with the 68 and newer lower hoses. They're pretty much available everywhere. Nothing special about it. It was the path of least resistance, since I've never gotten around to having my stash of early wp cores rebuilt.
