BB Alternator Brackets

Can someone tell me what year truck this BB alternator bracket belongs to? 71 or 72 or either one? Also, is it mounted correctly?

It is 72 only. Do you have the support rod running from the back side of the bracket to the manifold?

I had that bracket on a 72 BB402 suburban and that support rod actually hit the front nub on the master cylinder.

Re: BB Alternator Brackets

Are you talking about the rod that goes from the outer edge of bracket down to cylinder head? (my left cylinder head has a boss for mounting this bracket) If you look close at the picture, you can see a bolt where the firewall side of the bracket changes angles. The rod is attached.

On my 72BB the alt is on the inside of the bracket and the bolt that adjusts it is on the out side. Makes adjusting the belt easer.
