Early V8-60 Water Pump Wrench
In the tradition of helping others build traditional hot rods and restorations, Vern Tardel re-introduces his classic water pump wrenches to help those rebuilding either 1937-'39 V8-60 Fords or the later 1940 model.
These two special wrenches come with a 1/2-inch ratchet or breaker bar adaptor, which offers even more leverage to break free or re-install these screw-in water pump bodies. These water pumps can be corroded into their threads, so one of these tools is a mandatory hand-piece you will use and reuse, when rebuilding or servicing V8-60 Fords.
1937-1939 V8-60. $25.99 + shipping etc.
