generator pulley/fan replacement

I have converted my generator to 12 volts in my 1950 F1 Ford and now need a pulley/fan that uses a 5/8" belt. Any ideas for replacement parts.

Originals are hard to find.

Thanks, John

 

Your truck should have 5/8" pulleys already, unless someone changed the water pumps, fan etc. You just need a fan from a 49-51 F1 truck or 49 only mercury that has the 5/8" pulley. You can get the pulley for the generator from the same.
Hope this helps,
Matt

 

Also add in '49 only Ford passenger as big belt. There are two pulley sizes amonst all of these, no idea which is from what application.
