I'm going to make this a winter project. Thanks for the inspiration...
Is that a ‘65 Mark? You guys drag home the coolest stuff.
Yes Paul, 65 FST not in great shape. Got it for parts.

That’s a pre-67 FST forty! Don’t do it!

Made the 45 mile run down to the CottonLand meeting and was greeted with a nice puddle of coolant coming from my old water pump.
I looked all over and no one sells the early one. Specter has a kit but when I called it’s the later pump with custom hoses to make it work on the early truck.
From what I can tell I’ve already done all that conversion when I replaced the hoses so I’m leaving it here at 49 Tire to get a water pump installed so I don’t get stranded on the way home.
Anyone know if this is not going to work speak up please.
This is the SOR kit for the early F motor. Looks same as the one for late with different hoses and heater pipe
This is the one for the late F. I already did that junction pipe.
I get to take that sweet 80 home at least

Everything looks sweet next my s***box
Nolan, I'm late to the party but I hope this helps.
If you have the original water pump, it can be rebuilt. That doesn't help you at the moment but don't through the original out. "They are hard to come by even as cores" I've had four of mine rebuilt for around $100 or less. Any of the major auto parts stores " Shucks or Orileys" send them out usually with a week or so turn around. Just make sure they use your core......
I believe what you have pictured will work if you have hoses and the pipe...
Good luck
Mark
PS those rigs look fantastic....

Do you just have one heater shut off valve, I guess on the line that connects to the rear upper head?

Yes. Just one manual valve . It had two stock but the hoses were routed a bit different.

Project F145 to F135 water pump was not an issue. If you are going to break on the road, breaking at the local Cruiser Experts is the place to break.
@wct49 and crew got me back together and everything is nice and shiny under the hood.
They had to use a later model double groove pulley to line up the single belt correctly. This is the old one. They make good cup holders.
I’ve heard many good things about this company. If anyone wants to be Joe OEM and would like this old F135 waterpump for a rebuild like @cppilot mentioned, I’ll be glad to let it go.
They also gave me a good alignment from when I put all new rods and rod ends under the truck. One finger steering at 70 mph with these sweet 750-16s
Last but not least, met this dime for lunch. She’s only 3 years younger than the Goat but looks much better with age.

Ask the young Lady if she needs a curling iron... I pictured a nice one today. 
So is that GMB pump the SOR pump for the "later F" you showed above? And it needs a dual pulley to align on an early F? Dang. I was kind of liking the looks of that kit to clean up my front end.
Perfect lunch date.

I’m not sure if it the same pump as SOR sells.
I had already done the things that kit included. Surely that kit has what you need and does not leave you needing a pulley.
I likely spent about that on hoses and such.
I hauled my nephews new 4x4 Labs bumper home in the Goat.
Found a great window rattle stop.
Gone for the day

Genius! That's the one noise mine makes that drives me absolutely insane (somehow worse than all the other noises it makes)

New felts, lads. I can categorically say that all new felts makes those thar windas snug as a bug and rattle free.
