Truck Alt - conversion or custom bracket?
Hello All...
I know it may be easier just to find a whole F-body accessory setup. But I have the truck setup already and it on the motor and in the Mustang.
But has anybody purchased or used a mod to the factory Truck Alt braket so it doesnt sit up so high? Or does anybody sell custom bracket?
thanks

Why would Zipster's setup take away the power steering. I think the only thing I would be worried about would be belt slip on the wp. Also how did you go about getting the truck fully on the f-body wp.

The alternator is only held on be two bolts for now, I am going to add a bracket to triangulate the forces and attach it to the head.
With no spark plugs in the engine I can almost turn the engine over by rotating the water pump. I don't think it will slip.
I kept the stock truck power steering pump, and the water pump is the truck one, I just modified the outlet.

When its time to replace the pump, I will look into a Trailblazer or Camaro pump.

Yes, there is one bolt with a spacer where the tensioner was, there is a turnbuckle from Home Depot that I bent the eyelets so they would lay flat against the water pump end the alternator.
