1974 C10 New Belt Size?
I took off the AIR pump on my 1974 C10 w/350. I need to get a new belt and was wondering if anyone out there knows the new size needed or how to properly measure it out. Sorry I'm new at this haha.

Re: 1974 C10 New Belt Size?
A good way to get in the ballpark is a piece of rope. Then buy that size along with one size longer and one size shorter.
For example, if the rope length is 45", pick up a 445, 450, and 455. And if you're lucky, one of them will work. If not, at least you'll be close to zeroing in on the correct size.
