The hardware store belt is the same profile as you will find at any auto parts store, including the ones that cater to the 32-53 Fords. You are more likely to find a standard V-Belt at the hardware store than at any auto supply store. Almost all of the auto supply stores sell only the cog belts and the hardware stores are beginning to follow along. The current NAPA belt for the EFV-8 is 3/4" across the top, just like the B be;t from the hardware store. I used one when my 40 was point judged and got a Dearborn. The script belt sold by Bob Drake also has that profile and is too short.

If you want an original belt, then you need to ask someone who deals in original NOS and NORS parts, such as Michael Driskell at driskellracing@gmail.com (Third Gen Automotive) in McMinnville, TN.

I found one for my '36 4dr at NAPA parts store. It was a perfect fit for my '36 with a '37 motor but '36 heads.

I think Sal is looking for Ford script belt. I guess they are no longer available.
