They fit really good, if they were any wider it would have a gap at the edges. When they are tightened down they snug up really nice. The firewall has at least 3.5 inches of clearance and the driver side firewall almost looks like it was made to accomodate them. I drove around the block 3 times and checked for any oil around them and could not find any leaks, so I am confident they'll work out!

SWEET and they look great too..for under $100 and what 30 min install ?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Yep, around $78 about 30 minutes a side.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I know the bracket is made for headers but I am not able to install the headers right now. So what I did was just cut a couple of 1/2" spacers to bring the main bracket out. Seems to be real sturdy. But I have a clearance issue with the alternator on the bracket itself. I can only rotate the top of the alternator about an inch before the case of it bottoms out on the main bracket. Leaving me not much to adjust a belt with. I was wondering if you had the same issue?

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Actually I did. Once everything is together you should be able to lean it further toward the driver inner fender. I had another alternator on it and did a little grinding so I could have some adjustment, but after I tilted it out more it didn't need grinding and I have at least 3 inches of adjustment. If you need a belt part number it's a Gates 7541 XL, and here is a pic that might help. I may have already posted it, but you can see that the mounting tab on the alt is almost horizontal.

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking that maybe once I got the belt on and was able to tighten all the brackets thing might line up a little better. I also found out that the brackets from a 63 thru 67 327 corvette will work perfect with my setup too.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

No problem! I bet the brackets for the Corvette are probably a little more pricey!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Yes about $60 more and are painted black.

Man I wish I had a big garage like that. Truck looks really good setting there. I bet you still get up every morning and take a peak at it.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

I'd be real proud having this truck in my garage . great work !

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

x2! :metal:

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

The garage isn't that big really, it's a little cramped with all of the woman's holiday decorations for the house. I admit, almost everyday the garage door comes up. Before I brought the truck home it got opened maybe 3 times a week.

Thank you! I still have new car jitters when I look at it.....is that wrong?

Hey Bro! Thanks for droppin by the thread, it's been awhile.

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

Well, its about that time to get those women decorations out. lol That's what I have been doing this weekend. getting it all out just to put over half it back up into storage until the next holiday. FUN!!!!

Re: 1967 C10 Custom Big Window
 

We have garage sale junk at the front door so we can get it out easy, that should help alot when it's gone. All of the clutter can be organized and we might be able to come to an agreement on the amount of foofy decorations that she actually keeps!
