alt bracket pics

[gerber boy]

anyone have pics of the alternator brackets? also if someone could take a pic looking down from the top of the motor so i can see how the pulleys allline up together.

the truck i picked up came with no alternator and the only bracket for it is the top for adjusting the belt tension, i pulled off a alt from a SBC that i had and quickly threw it in there to see if i could make it work but i noticed with just using the bottom bolt spacer (2.5" roughly) and the top tap inside the adjuster bracket (like it should go) the pulleys were not aligned.

the water pump pulley has 2 groves, the inside one is going to the crank and P/S pump. it is using the inside pulley on the crank but the outside one on the P/S pump.

both the outer grooves on the W/P pulley and crank pulley are not being used right now, and the inside groove on the P/S pump is not being used.

this set's it up for the alternator to be way to far out of alignment, so i think the P/S pump needs to move out but would like a pic to make sure.

truck is a 6.2, no A/C, with hydroboost.

thanks guys, hope it made sense

My 82 K2500 has no AC ,6.2,its altenator uses the outermost pulley to drive it..sorry I have no way to take a picture of it...

I think the altenators MIGHT be slightly different between a diesel VS a gas one,but a gas one will work if you tweak the upper bracket slightly and use the correct spacer on the long bottom bolt that goes in the block..my truck has a plow pump bracket that bolts to that bottom bolt,so I cant say what the stock bracket looks like..the stock one on my '85 Burb looks a ot like a SBC one,but might have different length to align the belt...
