Alt mounting - need a pic - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The angle dump manifolds are going back on this week, and I know that I used a new alt bracket when the headers went on. What would the factory mount for a driver's side alt have looked like?
TIA

This is the factory bracket for the heads. If they have the holes in them. This was on my old small block 305.

I bought this one to go on my 64 Impala but it came off of a 72 C10.

After I painted it.

I believe the 67-68 truck used the exhaust manifold to mount the alternator. I borrowed a picture from another thread. You can't see the mount very well, but may give you an idea.

Not an easy spot to get a pic of. Hope this helps.

As I feared- pretty sure there's nothing in my stash that looks like any of these. Time to fabricate. Thanks for the responses.

The bracket I posted is on any small block Chevy motor with long water pump. Cars trucks it don't matter as long as you have the heads with the stud holes to mount with.
Any good junkyard should have plenty of them.

aaaand here I learn that I need 67-68 manifolds. No mounting boss on the manifold as pictured, no holes in the front of the head. Thanks for the responses.

There are several of them on Ebay.
