Your right all our trucks have short pumps. The cars went long pump before the trucks.

hmmm, Well my truck came witha short water pump, on my custom/10 350, with out power steering but...
I had to change to a Long water pump, when i put in power steering, because of the pullies and belts. Chevy and 3 parts places told me that the short water pumps where more common than the long because powersteering was a expencive option at that time.

out of 6 local trucks 71 and 72's in my area they all have long water pumps. i was the only one with a shorty

As I understand and could be wrong if the ps pump is low then it would have a short water pump, if it's high and mounted to the wp then you'd have a long water pump. My 70 has power steering and a short pump(original). My power steering pump is not mounted to water pump.

Right, all the small blocks in these trucks came with short pumps.
