Correct alternator bracket - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Coalkracker · 08-23-2017, 07:43 PM

What is the correct style alternator bracket for a 1970 c10 without power steering or a.c. My local parts stores don't list an own style just chrome ones of all different styles. My truck was missing it when I purchased it so I don't have anything to go by.

V8 or L6?
If V8, BBC or SBC? Long water pump or short water pump?

307 v8 with short water pump

Bump ... the answer is?

**'68OrangeSunshine** · 08-23-2017, 09:42 PM

Here's the 350 V8 SBC w/short water pump in my '71 GMC Jimmy. I have one of those chrome thingies, but it works. The OEM was the same but black.

Thanks for the resonse... My intake manifold doesn't have a threaded hole for the bracket though. It almost appears that it should only bolt to the head for the upper bracket and possibly the block for the lower bracket.

I guess there's more than one way to skin a cat. Looks like you need one like MikeC 's.

I like the one that Mike c posted but it's a little pricey at 85 dollars. How does the bottom mount on yours? Does the bracket bolt into the block below the heads or is it all one piece?

A lot of GM 60's model car will have these brackets if they have a V-8 in them.

I've been buying parts for my Corvette to put a big block in it with power steering. The $225 that bracket costs is expensive. Truck parts is cheap! Relatively speaking at least.
