Installing vintage air compressor
I’m installing vintage air on my 70 c10. I’m trying to use the low mount compressor bracket the bolts to the factory fuel pump mounting surface on my SBC. It looks like I might have to cut some of the frame slightly to make the low mount compressor work. Just wondering if anyone has tried this before on our trucks. I’m probably going to have have fab up the bracket slightly to make it work.

Re: Installing vintage air compressor
To me it looks like that is sticking way to far out the front, I would install your balancer and water pump to make sure the pulley lines up before you cut anything.

Re: Installing vintage air compressor
It looks forward but that may be an optical illusion , That front cross member looks bent and pushed back a lot ?
