1957 270HP water pump and crankshaft pulley

[Theodore K.]

During my assembly process of the engine rebuilding,I managed to bend and/or ding both pulleys. While I can find replacement pulleys in the suppler catalogs, I was thinking that this size pulley was used on trucks for several years. The engine was a dual 4 barrell 270HP 283 engine and uses the wider groove pulley. Does anyone know about the other uses for this pulley system?

My problem stemmed from forgetting the crankshaft spacer during assy and not paying enough attention during rebuild when I went to place the pulley on the Water pump.

Thanks in Advance for your help

Solved my own problem. A visit to the junk Yard found a chevy PU from about 57-58 or so that had the identical wide groove pulley. The bottom one was missing, but $15 later I had a servicable pulley. A little cleaning, a little semiflat black paint and I am back in business.
