Sturgis 39, the 39-41 single belt sheave is usable but the fan extension may have to be removed for a 32 installation with the original cross member. The 39-41 pulley is a little harder to find than the 42 -48 types.

32Gnu, The 42-48 pulley had a seal surface on the rear extended portion and the 8BA type has a press on spiral grooved seal sleeve.

The 28-48 Ford Chassis Parts catalog lists the 8BA-6303 crankshaft as a replacement crankshaft for the 39 thru 48 engines but the end result was to use insert type connecting rods instead of floaters and it has an overall length of 26.03". The original crank for the 29A/59A series was 29A-6303-B. It was listed at 26" overall length.

334Charlie, the RT pumps are the 8RT truck type pumps used from 1948 thru 1952 in most all truck & pick up installations.
