alternator bracket combinations

[buildingmy68]

Hello everyone
New here to the sight. I have a 68 3/4 ton . lowering and rebuilding. I am have some frustration with figuring out after adding power steering how to line up pulleys or the combinations to use?? Is it just trial and error? I did buy a long water pump as I was told it gives me some better alternatives for the brackets. I did pick up a passenger side bracket from a 73-87 models. Any suggestions??

A lot of of us have been through this and yes, it's trial and error unless you can find an engine that has not been scavenged and take all the parts needed.

I bought an old un-scavanged junk engine for about $150 just for the parts. I took everything in front of the block; alternator, power steering pump, water pump fan pulleys, fan and even the harmonic balancer and pulleys.

If the above is not possible and you're not worried about it not looking stock, then the internet vendors have a lot of different options.

thanks will experiment from the buckets of parts that the truck came with. The motor is from a 69 Camaro. Adding the power steering was easy.
