IIRC it was a LS3 water pump,I had to use spacers to line up with the truck acc. but I liked the neck outlet so I could use my radiator with the inlet on the drivers side.

Just an FYI, they make 3/4" spacers to move F body/GTO out to truck spacing. They also make 1 1/2" spacers to mover corvette to truck spacing without stacking.

Who is "they" ???

I couldnt find anybody to make me some 1.5 spacers so I just used two 3/4 inch ones on each side.

Dirty Dingo acted like I was crazy when I asked for 1.5 spacers & when I asked them to make a set they said it would be a couple hundred $ .

Used to be on ebay all the time (expired link below). I think Wegner still makes them though.

First sentence last word, is not in my vocab.

Always can make more money. So spend it and enjoy it.

Still $100 for those spacers is a little high IMO.

Just buy an LS1 pump and swap the truck pulley!!! You'll have a new pump and no spacers!!!

ZQ8LS1, thought you were looking for regular spacers for the accessory brackets not the pump. If your trying to space the pump then I agree with 99vettefrc, swap the truck pulley onto the LS1 pump. Drill and tap the pulleys and use a steering wheel puller to remove the pulleys. Then stick the truck pulley in your outdoor grill and get it hot, 400 degrees or more for 20 minutes. Then quickly install it onto the pump. Be certain you know how far to install it first as you won't have much time for adjustment.

If you have access to a press, you could probably remove the rear cover(bolt on style) to press the pulley in place. It's pretty easy to swap so forget about the pump spacers.
