The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - View Single Post - PROJECT: How would a Chevrolet dealer build a shop truck in the early 1970s?

Just discovered that the water pump weep hole is leaking. Then discovered that this truck has the *long* water pump. The PO did say the motor came from a '78 truck, so they must have taken all of the accessories from the '78, too. I think for now I'll stick with that setup and just buy a long pump to get it running and driving.

I found this thread with some good discussion:
