Good photo of Skip's impeller?

[Old Henry]

Anyone got a good photo of Skip Haney's impeller that he puts in the water pumps? The one on his web site is not very good. I'm wanting to compare it with my upgraded pumps from C&G to see the difference and decide whether it's enough to pay $200.00 to replace my impellers with Skips.

Anyone got a good photo?

Old Henry, with Skips pumps you get more than just impellers, Skip goes through the pumps and completely rebuilds them, in addition, you get Skip, who stands behind what he builds which is more then you can say about most "over the counter" parts places. Skip rebuilt two sets of pumps for me and I'm getting ready to send him the pumps off of our '39 LZ. For my money, I’d go with Skip every time.

Vic- Well said and couldn't agree more.

Same here.

Running Skip's on my `35 for 3-4 years and they have been faultless.

No photo, but he gets my vote also, great guy to deal with

I went with Skips,good stuff!

His adds in the V8 Times have little pictures. Now if I just had a scanner that was worth a damn.

He may be worried that Speedy Bill will send the picture to his compadres in China to copy... oops, too late

Lest we fail to mention it was George Mitchell and Skip Haney that ushered in the
spiral impeller. EVERYONE else jumped on the band wagon much later in the game.
I spoke to George at the V8 Meet in Frederick Maryland a long time ago. We stood
and observed his '39 1/2 ton happily idling away by Kens booth, for a hour...it was in
the high 80's to mid 90's as I recall. Just a tip o' the hat to the real visionaries.

I sent Skip a set of pumps for my 34. They were NOS but I wanted his touch on them. It was a year or two before I got around to installing them. It wasn't too long before one had a seeping leak not bad just irritating. Called Skip & he took care of the problem W O a problem & no charge & prompt. I would like to see other suppliers do that after the part sat for a couple of Years. He gets my business. You get what you pay for.

Henry - not running Skips, used another rebuilder here on the west coast. Nice work.

This may be the only pics...

Charlie it was run for 2 hours and the temperature that day was 100. The temperature never got to 180 at a fast idle. It also came down in temperature when we raced it a little from the very fast idle. Don't forget this truck has a shrould and a 6 bladed industrial fan.

Henry I believe you requested pictures a long while ago and I brought a box full of impellers home to take pictures and I'm looking at the box from where I'm sitting. Will try to take pictures this week. Very busy fixing my home of 34 years to sell, purchased a condo. G.M.

iv got 3 sets of skips pumps.
i realy cant compare becouse all my vehicles have his pumps on them, but none of them have ever overheated.

I don't understand what you folks are talking about when you say spiral impellers Skip uses. I sent my 35 pumps to Skip a couple of years ago and the only change in the impellers was a little longer vanes, that I could see. I am not complaining, as they work well,just curious.

If you look at his web ad, the turbine impellers are only for 37-48. The 32-36 just get the "new improved high volume impeller": http://www.fordcollector.com/water_pumps.htm

Visual comparison won't tell the whole story. An actual test comparison would be necessary. I would guess the other sources did a 'Chinamans' copy of Skips impeller. I've had four sets of original Ford pumps (w/part number on castings) rebuilt by Skip. He does good work and guarantees what he does. I also like the idea of keeping an American employed.
