will car water pump work with truck acc.? I read the sticky and multiple threads already but didnt find a straight answer. Has anyone used a car style water pump on an acc. set up from a truck? I really dont wanna spend a bunch of money trying to modify the truck one to work.

I cant believe I forgot about that. Thanks! Now I have to decide which way would be better. I Can either modify the truck one or buy a car one and buy spacers. Looks like I would be spending about the same due to the cost of the spacers...

yes, but I relocated the alt. and I saw on another thread that the truck water neck interferes with the throttle body on the side of it. I have it all worked out except for the water neck.
Several options:
spacers
L99 pump
press the f body pulley farther off the shaft
swap the truck pulley on f bodyn pump
or buy one already done

Oh, the L99 pump may be exactly what I am looking for, I am using electric fans and a radiator with the inlet on the drivers side anyway so location of the inlet shouldn't be a problem. One question if anyone can answer, will the truck tnesioner bolt up to this pump or would I need to get a L99 tensioner as well?
what are you trying to accomplish, moving the inlet or is it the stand off of the pump that matters. If you want to run the truck balancer and pump you can get the spacer kits to move out the alternator and the power steering brackets for the fbody brackets or if you are running truck style and just want to run a fbody pump you can use the pump spacer kit

One thing that I think that goes un noticed about using the spacers for the pump is that you need the tensioner thats meant to be used with the pump you are using. So if you use a 4th gen F car pump with truck accessories you need to use a F car tensioner.
if you go the car water pump with truck pulley swapped on it will the truck tensioner still work then?
Yes, the truck tensioner on an f body pump with the truck pulley spaced correctly will fit the truck accessory spacing. The tensioner mounting pads distance from the block mating surface is the same on f body, LQ4/9, LM7, and L92 (about 1.5"). Not sure on the L99.
I've done 2 swaps that way.
