Nice truck. Did you absolutely have to have the 3/4 shaft? I know O'Reilly's has new lifetime water pump for $90. Prices have gone up, I bought a new pump in 2010 and only paid $36 for it.
Did that 4 speed come in that truck? I don't see a master cylinder for the clutch. I didn't know which year started hydraulic slave for the clutch.

We're all bull headed in one way or another. I love the stock look of my truck, so I won't change out the 6 lug rear axle for an 8 lug. Mine has the T98 also, a lot of tranny for a half ton.
Did you try looking for a Borg Warner with the overdrive? That would hold up and scoot you down the road.

No, T98 was never an overdrive. I was talking about a T85 R11 combo tranny. Those trannys were used in all kinds of cars, Fords, Mercs, Lincolns, and Stupidbakers!
I just acquired one that was behind a 312 I just bought. Its gonna get sold here in a while. My truck has an auxiliary transmission with overdrive. 5831 Spicer 3 speed. So I've got a
4 + 3 in my truck.

Greetings: Checked my 57 car shop manual and 64 F100 manual, both list the rocker shaft to cylinder head torque as: 12-15 foot-lbs.. Hope this helps, JEFF........... That '57 truck is going to be mighty fine.

Yep, 12-15. 20 is pretty high. That is more like the lower end of a grade 8 spec.

That's cool. I've actually run the strap under the intake manifold and used it to lift an engine in and out!

Nervy? I used a ratchet strap, not a lifting strap! Lifted a 332 Lincoln Y that way too. Believe me, that's a heavy beast. Especially when the bell and flywheel are still on the back.

2" Wal mart strap. Rated for 1200lbs. Have lifted at least 3 engines with it. Threw it away cause it was getting greasy. That disintegrates the material and weakens it.

I'll post some progress photos as I go along. I couldn't find a water pump anywhere that had 3/4" shaft and didn't want to bush stuff down to 5/8" or look for other stuff.. NAPA found a place in Lubbock that rebuilt this one, ouch....$279.; I'm sure I can get the name of the shop if anyone needs it, or, there may be plenty of pump rebuilders elsewhere. Got the engine bay ready.
