when i add something that needs a new belt that i didnt have before and no clue what belt i need,i get a 3/8 piece of nylon rope,wrap it around the pullies and set it where the belt will fit,cut the rope and melt the ends together making a mockup of a belt,take it to the parts store and put it in their belt gauge,measure and da da get the right belt to fit,i figured that out one day after 3 trips back and forth trying different belts that were to short or to long
Great Video- I have a 72 blazer but I bought a Jegs crate motor that I believe they used in a square body. Relocated my alternator bracket to the passenger side. I believe this is how my set I will look. Cheers
Great video!! I’m trying to put power steering on my 72 c10 as we speak with a small block 400 in it.Being that it didn’t come with power steering… I didn’t know how to go by putting it on and your video really helped. Do you have any brackets for sale like that? I would like to buy one if you do.
If you cut the power steering bracket you gonna make that soft at the moment that you have to steer the wheel, the pump is going to bend badly, the serpentine belt going to flay out. you gonna end in some issues with, that bolt that go to the header is to make a stable brake
couple of questions: is that a long or short water pump? The upper bracket, i cant so far find a replacement for it. where can I get it from a auto part store like year one or NPD?
Thank you so much for this video. I have a 75 caprice with a 400 small block I took off the AC I couldn't find how to do the belts. I started with three belt now just two belts. What brand of belts would you recommend ?
I''m adding AC to and 86' that's had a 396 swapped in by the previous owner and I'm doing a similar PS pump set up. Were you able to use the stock hose for the pressure side of the PS Pump? The one I have on there now is too short. Do you know what hose you sourced? Any help in finding a suitable solution wold be awesome!
@@unclebucksgarage7695 No problem, I actually just learned this myself, and your correct they are the best bolts to use for those type of application, but I do like what you call them as well,
That would be great I have 1971 c10 but my cast number in the engine says it’s 86 and up and that’s where I get confused I don’t know which year I need to my belts for

So are you still happy with your power steering setup?
yes i am, works perfect
I can't get my c10 powersteering lines to work when using this bracket because it sits so low.
HAVE TO USED THE HIGH PRESSURE LINE THAT WAS ON IT AND I MADE THE RETURN
At the 38 second mark in beginning of video you call the SLB 5/16,then just a little bit later you say 3/8 thread…which is it? Lol
