Trying to ID the year model of brackets

[SCOTI]

I need assistance confirming the year range for these sbc OE brackets. Are they truck or car specific? Any help would be appreciated as these are what I'm looking for for a project. I need to find some.... the more I know about them, the easier it will make the search.

I will have to look closer at my Alt bracket but I'd say they are the same as the brackets on my '71 Chevy pickup with the 350.

If you're talking about the alternator brackets, I have a 70 350 and those are exactly the same brackets that I have and mine are OE.

I'm talking about both the a/c & alternator brackets. I've seen the 'top' alt bracket on many older sbc's. Normally you'll see guys double them up to minimize vibration/flex that was common on the single bracket @ higher rpm's.

I will admit I've never really paid attention to the lower bracket & how it's shaped/looks. Ditto for the a/c set-up. Since I'm shooting for a 60's engine compartment (meaning no aftermarket set-up here), I think these would work well & keep the a/c on the pass side. I would also be able to add pwr steering since it was available too.

I do not want any thing from later years though (where the alt bracket mounts off the pass head/top of the intake) as that's more of the 70's thru early 80's type of brackets.

If you guys could put a pic up to confirm that would be great (I'll take your word regardless ). Do either of you have the same a/c bracket?

71-72 maybe. I have a 74 & have seen under the hood of a 73 so I know those brackets are not 73-77 vintage.

Scoti, they are 69-72 brackets for sure. What parts do you need ? I have a bunch of that stuff.

You can look in my blog to see pictures of the alternator and power steering brackets on my 327.

Hey Tx... I need it all actually. I won't be putting a/c on @ the moment but would like to get everything mocked in place & dropped off @ my favorite powder-coaters () so they're ready when I'm ready.

I also need some 'Chevrolet' script valve covers (w/o grommet holes & w/straight across fastener holes) .

I've got all of the power steering and alternator brackets at my shop right now. Power steering pump too. No A/C stuff though. I also have the script valve covers.

You want me to get them out for you ?

Cool, I'll take them off your hands if you don't need them?

Still thinking about the spindles? We could work something out if so as I've got the tires off my steelies w/some initial clean-up done (one of them had fix-a-flat in it so you know what that does). I also have another set of ricer alum wheels needing some coating (friend of my x's). I figured I'd try & get out your way when we could co-ordinate our schedules. Satin blk on all the wheels & brackets....

I really need 73-87 drop spindles. I can buy them as cheap as I can buy 4 new ball joints and tie rod ends to go earlier spindles like you have.

I also need a bolt in c notch, a pair of 8 inch 5 lug steelies, any slot mags, whatever. You got any kind of trade stuff ?

How soon you need the brackets coated and done ?

Gotcha. I'm in no extreme hurry but the sooner I can start mocking, the better off I am. I'm @ a stand-still right now waiting on a few items from Porterbuilt. I need them to finish the rear so I've been sorting through cooling upgrades & researching brackets this week.

What's a good timeline for you?

*edit: I just noticed about the swap items that I neglected to address. I don't have anything you're needing but will keep the 'list' in my head as I'm constantly looking for stuff. If I come across the slots, I'm assuming 6's & 8's; w/6-lugs as the preference?

[Tx Firefighter]

6 lug or 5 lug, I have either option.

I can have the brackets cleaned and powdercoated by Thursday at the latest.

Sounds good.... shoot me a price including those v.covers you mentioned .
