5.3 truck belt info
Not sure if this is posted some place, but thought it should be put on here.
My son put a 5.3 in a 49 Dodge, the owner didn't want AC or power steering, so the PS was removed. I did some checking an found info on the tri-five site. Here's a couple pics showing the routeing of belt with no PS and the part number. We got the belt at NAPA for around $28.00, it's a 6 rib, 13/16" X 75-5/8". Haven't run the engine yet, but I think it has enough contact on the water pump, that it should be OK. Hope this might help someone...Jim

Re: 5.3 truck belt info
Yup, luckily because of the routing, nothing has to be drastically changed, and no additional tensionsers need to be added. Good looking out on the info.
