Did the factory big block trucks 68-72 use a short or long waterpump?

I bought a factory 72 bb truck PS set-up, and need to know if I have to sell my long waterpump.
Thanks,
SC

Well, I guess I'm going to have to sell the brand new aluminum long pump I have...either that or put it on one of the Sprints.
Thanks,
SC

The waterpump is the easiest thing to find. If you're looking for stock short waterpump pulleys and brackets they can be a real b%tch to find and real pricey too. I went with brackets and pulleys from March...You can get it all from Summit.

I bought the complete big block everything from PICKMUP. Pulleys, brackets, motor mounts, p/s pump, brackets, reservoir, everything. I cried like a little girl when I payed for it, but it was all matched and perfect. Supply and demand brother.

Doing it right ain't cheap. Or, as I always say, buy the best and cry once.

I think I'm going to go with the Alan Grove steel brackets for the a/c and alternator - they spread the compressor and alternator out wide past the valvecovers like I want, and they're $160...a lot cheaper than the aluminum brackets. I haven't decided whether to go with steel or aluminum pulleys.

The Alan Grove stuff is very decent, especially for their price.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
