BBC brackets and the water pump...

[Daks]

I am getting ready to put the big block into my truck finally... but I am unsure about a few things that I was hoping someone would have some insight into...

I think that both of these pieces are tied in that, if you use a short water pump, you need the brackets that work with the short water pump, and vice versa... I have seen different types of brackets that are said to be for our years... two types of alternator brackets... seems like thousands of pieces for the ac stuff, and at least a dozen different power steering setups.

Can anyone tell me / show me pics of the correct brackets for a 72 big block engine? I also need to know if our trucks used short or long water pumps... Pics would be very useful for when I am looking for the parts...

Thanks for any help
