Alternator position
As I look at pics other member's trucks, I notice that the vast majority have the alternator on the driver's side, regardless of whether they have A/C. Mine ('72 GMC)has it on the passenger side (Non A/C, w/ps). Was there any particular reason why they would be on one side or the other?

Re: Alternator position
They changed from short water pump to long pump in 1973 on trucks and cars in 1968. The alternator went to passenger side with the long pump.

Re: Alternator position
I agree. The brackets you have are most likely 73+. When those were equipped with ac the hoses ran over everything in a long needless run. I have the passenger brackets and I'm looking to shift mine to the drivers side. The options get slim with a lwp but they're out there.
