pulley issues

[snipescastle2]

I had a similar problem, these trucks mostly came with the "Short" water pumps, hence the long flat curved upper alternator bracket. I decided to run a "long" style pump and the brackets are obviously different, but the lower crank pulley wouldn't line up and belts would walk off the grooves. I finally went to a salvage yard and got the matching set of pulleys and brackets, seems the pulleys I had originally had only worked with the short pump, or got mixed up with other pulleys sometime ago....I got the entire set of pulleys and brackets off of a late 70's Camaro, everything works as it should now.
Hope this helps!
