" (NOT CJ-7, the DJ is the postal Jeep) water pump and pulley as they

" part to come by, the pump should be easy. 

frank, if you're thinking of the short pump as used on '65 americans,
it was used '65-'75 on big jeeps and cjs.  it wasn't on the cj7 b/c
they redesigned the engine bay in the mid '70s.  it wasn't on cj5s of
that period either - they're the same underhood.

a '72-up six would bolt up too, with an early-mid '70s t14 bellhousing.
