Need a belt - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a late '90s crate Goodwrench motor in my '69 and I need a serpentine belt. The local autoparts store wants 48 bucks which seems a little ridiculous to me. However, I can't find one online. There's way too many options and none look right. Where do ya'll get them from and which ones do you use?

If the local parts store had a part number, Ask them for that number and cross it on-line. Don't forget to store that number somewhere for future use.

Best is to note what the serp was removed from with all the same pulleys hense easy to order. If not then use the string around all the componets method to get you in the ball park for a measurment, convert to metric and they are listed by that length in the PN. I done that, still had to increase to the next size.
I think NAPA had a good selection for me.

I could not believe the prices. They are about 25% of the auto stores and are the same belt and specs. This is not a scam. I have used them several times and they ship the same day. It does not hurt to give them a call. I buy all of my industrial belts and auto belts from them.
