    just about any junk yard will have that for sure. I probably have 20 of those. I'll give you one for every one you find for me that is the single groove pulley.

    5.0's won't work. sorry

    If you want just the "single" water pump pulley, just drill out the four spot welds and break them apart. It's easy.

    the ranger one is a completely different setup if it were from at least 93 and up.

    the mustang II's should of had the single pulleys if I remember right.
    you can use a twin pulley though and just not run the second belt.
