Default Power steering pump pulley

I have a 91 E-150 4.9L
My power steering pump pulley is shot and needs replaced. I have been unable to locate one. Every parts house I've called doesn't have a listing for one. Will one from an F-150 work?
thank you

Before replacing it, why did it go south? Did it run low on fluid and crap out? If so the replacement will not last long with all the junk in the hydraulics. The pump assys were not too much different only the reservoir and mounting. You may be able to get one from a later year and just install the pump assy to the old reservoir. You will need to remove the old one and match it up with a possible replacement.

The pump is fine, it's the pulley that's damaged. There is a wear Ridge on the far inside lip of the pulley and is causing it to eat belts. I spent a good portion of my time yesterday searching on line and making phone calls and have been unsuccessful in locating one

I don't know if you have the removal and install tool for the pulley, but it sure makes it an easy job. With that thought in mind, what if you removed the pulley and shopped around with the pulley in hand , now you can compare with later years and they may not be too much different. Last resort is either a salvage yard or , "Vintage Parts Inc.". located in Wisconsin. Just Google it , they have a website that you can check out.

I was able to find the part number on my pulley. I think I just ordered the only one on Ebay
