Which P/S Bracket do I need?
Hello,
Long time lurker here, I've used this site as a reference numerous times over the last few years with a few different trucks that I have owned. Very informative, a good group it seams. I am working on my brothers '72 lwb 2wd V-8 C-10. He's had it for a while, its a great truck in very good condition, that he drives regularly. We've done a few things to it like HEI ignition, headlight relays, intake/carb, and some other misc. stuff. At some point in its life, it has had A/C, power steering and power brakes added. The A/C compressor (York) is mounted on the pass. side of the engine, and has fabbed bracketry. Alternator on the pass. side head, with the power steering below it, mounted to the lower part of the block, with a bracket that comes over from the engine mount pad. Pretty standard 70's era type brackets (I think) Problem is, that power steering bracket broke and the p/s pump fell off the engine (fell the !@#$ off :lol:), thus turning the truck into a stubborn sled that will fight you tooth and nail to go anything but straight. I need to get a suitable replacement. I need help locating a bracket that will get the pump back where it belongs, maintain proper belt alignment, and not get in the way. This is probably not asking much, but I'd like to be sure I'm not messing up and getting the wrong thing. nothing more annoying than wasted money..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/SBC-Small-Bl...4ba3d1&vxp=mtr is what I am eyeballing. If anyone has something laying around that will work, inbox me. No price is too cheap!:lol: Pics incoming, and thanks |

These are the factory brackets for your truck for the power steering pump. Let me know if you want them. |

You should be able to see the two bolts at the bottom near the harmonic balancer that still hold the broken bracket in place. I will try to get pics on from the bottom tomorrow after work, I've lost daylight for the night. |
