Randall,
I have reason to believe mine's original, or at least very old, and therefore
"as original" - the car has not been used since 1970, and the belt seemed to be
sitting in a normal enough place in the pulley. Maybe I'll take a look and see
what the width is - perhaps it's a "Whitworth B" belt.

Jim :
I believe the answer is yes and no. Yes, a standard B size belt will fit
(although this is an unusual length), but No, the 'original' belts were not
B size. I think the Cummins truck belt I am using now is B size, and it
rides noticeably lower in the pulleys than the replacement belts that were
supplied 10-20 years ago (I've never seen an original belt). The older
belts were taller, and had a different angle.
Of course, this is all guesswork. I'm sure there is some belt engineer
that will correct me <g>
