glad to hear you're doing better and the trucks being repaired, this build really created a desire for one of these rigs one day

i got the serpentine system off a 1993 caprice classic for $125 from a wrecking yard. when you get one make sure you get everything including the water pump (because its a reverse flow) make sure you also know the fan blade is reverse but still pulls air in the right direction so get that. get the smog pump,a/c pump and alternator(because it a 4 year design only),power steering pump and lines.if you want to pull the power steering pulley you will need a special puller you can get at harbor freight because you cant get to the powersteering pump off till you remove the pulley. just to let you know all the bolts are metric and i used american bolts to bolt it to the block. you will need to buy a smog pump bypass pulley at summit for $30, if you dont want a/c summit also makes a a/c bypass pulley for $30.if you want a/c vintage air makes a bracket to convert the ugle R4 compessor to a sanden 508 for $60. here are some pictures of the bypass pulleys. its alot of work and will cost you a few hundred to get it to work. hope this helps you descide if its right for you.

as far as damage its come to $21,000 so far. just 40 hours alone went into replacing the side cowl, pulling the cowl out on the frame rack, repairing the sheet metal and repainting the firewall.but,i had know way of pulling the cowl myself.i could have saved myself about $2000 if i did the rest myself,but it would have taken me about 6 more months to finish it. my wife told me to take care of myself, recover from the accident and left someone else do the work.

Thanks for the reply on the pully system. This just might work for me. Take care.
