Where did a year go? I'm still working on her SLOWLY. My job when crazy over the last year and a half was working 7 days a week plus other projects . Getting better now so hopefully can get back going. I've been messing with trying to figure out what I'm gonna do for accessory brackets. I'm planning on installing Vintage Air so i want to move the alternator to the driver side. So I've been looking at their brackets, or alan grove brackets, just pricey to me for brackets.

But i want it right so got to pay to play.

I don't know if you've figured this one out yet, but my go-to is to pull the newer serpentine setup off of the early 90's GM trucks. It's just two big cast aluminum brackets that hold the P/S pump, alternator (driver's side) and A/C compressor (Pass side) as well as the idlers and tensioner all built in. I don't know how your local yards work, but my local Pick-n-pull only charges around $80 for the brackets with accessories attached. I usually buy a new A/C compressor though for around $140 from Rock Auto. You will need a Torx set to remove from the truck in the yard though, in case you are going to get one.

Went with the Alan Grove alternator bracket.

Also tried out the power steering brackets I bought, don't remember where I got them. Also put new lines on.

Welded up random holes in the floor, back wall of cab and under dash.

Cut the vent holes in the dash for the Ac vents.
