I'm not sure if they're listing the different lengths under the same part number. Which is 77202. It's being sold on amazon with that part number, and the reviewers say it doesn't fit. Too short for 87 R10 and 85 blazer.

On the upside, I did find something that will work perfectly and nobody would ever know the difference - Leather belts! All you need is a leather belt from the clothing store that is 1" wide. You will need at least 30" of usable length, in order to have enough. Otherwise you won't be able to set the slack where you want it. So you'll have to cut off most of the end of the belt, that has holes in it. You could spare one hole though, in order for your screw to go through.

Kinda nice cause then you've got leather ones. And your choices are almost endless. I've been looking at people who have fixed cars (miatas and porches) and it looks great. But on the 73-87, you must make sure it's only 1" wide. Any more than that and it's not going to fit. You might be able to squeeze 1 1/6" in there.
