Stalvage is the alt bracket for a short or long water pump?

[stsalvage]

short water pump never used the tall one until 1973.I think its because there shroud got smaller Plus they moved the motor up 2 inches.We all use the small water pump on all 283-350 until 1972.Now the 400 blazer or the K series trucks might of use the talk water pump for clearance issues.But on all my C10-C20 1964--72 chevy truck's suburban shortbeds have small water pump

[rvrfoot]

Ok i have 66 c10 with 350 long water pump.I am looking for a alt bracket for the driver side.

[stsalvage]

Part number will not help you if you have the 1960--66 trucks this is the brackets you need

[rvrfoot]

Thanks for your help. I have ram horn manifold.

[stsalvage]

Now the 1969-1972 will work on your 1960-66 truck as well

[stsalvage]

[stsalvage]

you will need to get the small water pump to make all the brackets and pulleys to work and smoothy Try and stay away from Chrome pulleys they seem to make squealing noises and slip

[rvrfoot]

I will try to get some brackets and maybe shim them out.

[stsalvage]

you know you don't have to run your spark plugs that way

[rvrfoot]

Thanks, I will go over to the 67 board a start looking for the brackets.

[stsalvage]

ebay is where i buy.if you can't find any

[werito1]

I looked for the power steering brackets on Ebay, could not find any, you're right they're hard to find.

[stsalvage]

Keep looking on Ebay you will find what your looking for remember to say factory the aftermarket is not what you want.

all of them are for the short water pump if you have the long you will need to change water pump and pulleys.Or you will have to do a ton of modifying.The true way to do it is to do it like this.Where about's in San berdino do you live

can i see the front of your motor to see what i'm working with where the brackets are suppose to go

[rvrfoot]

I'm on the road driving now I'll be home about 6 tonight and I will take pictures

[stsalvage]

Ok

[rvrfoot]

I am going to lower the ps pump.The alt need to be on the driver side because the air will go on the pass side some day just trying to think ahead.

[Captainfab]

To move the alternator to the drivers side, you will have to change to a short water pump. That means different pulleys and power steering pump brackets as well. Most of the '69+ cars and all '73+ trucks had the AC compressor on the drivers side.

[rvrfoot]

I am thinking ahead. I will at some point add air and i want it on the pass side.

[stsalvage]

Ya your running the tall water pump.You still have the heater core unit.I like having them in my truck do to when the motor is getting hot.I can turn on the heater and it helps to cool the motor plus when it cold out side it helps to warm me up.Ya if you run the 1973-74 corvette wires for the HEI they will be long enough.Plus if you run the small water pump you can run the factory shroud and run the clutch fan It really helps keep the motor Cool i run the 7 blade ford ones the metal and alum ones

Hay cap Are you a longevity truck man or do you burn the candle at both ends.

The guys that i use to know that Raced at Riverside Race Way and ran the baha 1000 had that saying.

The longevity guy Has gauges for everything is a over kill type of guy on getting the best stuff that works the hardest.

Meaning if He wanted a pulling motor he would not be a slacker for a 350 he run the 400 he run the th400 trans over the th350 if he know he was going to be hauling massive loads he put a gear vendor behind the th400.The longevity guy wants what the factor put on the truck cus they tested it and it worked like Brackets cooler lines and so forth.

I know that some after market stuff can be better But so far I've not seen much of it

Now the guy that throws caution to the win run no gauges runs 750 carbs on a 60 over 350 & 400 motor's and Let the chips fall where they are.I'm not fond of them guys cus there under there hood all the time.

What is the best 235/85/16 tire on the market.If your not a loader or a hauler I will under stand.

One more question who makes the best tire all around for old and new Hot rods.

Been in the salvage business for 25 years. Did finder fee's for car's and trucks and parts for Austria for the big block ford motors and the Japs for the Caddys and Lincolns and other makes I've had amost every car Gm ever made from 1947 -1987 But for the last 15 years i'm a collector or Brackets clutch fan Fans Exhaust manifolds.I've had to down size cus Its to much work holding on to this stuff and my life needs a new direction.

One last thing back in 2006--2008 broke my heart.when metal climbed to 500 to $800.00 a ton for tin and 750 to $950.00 for steel and cast for a ton for scrap metal.I called every one i could to save the many old trucks car's parts that where ending up in the scrap yards I cryed.I saved over 140 of different car's and trucks Throw people i know

Bought a 21 window VW bus for 1800.00 from this one junk guy.Found a body shop that closed back in the late 80's that a junk guy was clean out.Payed him 2200.00 for it turned it over to a good friend of mine and made us a good profit.

People now days now want a old car or trucks there are a few but now we have the scalpers now taking good trucks apart and parting them out.Real shame
