my other thread was getting old and id like to start with the finished product, well almost. Need to finish the belt tension adjusters and get two belts measured and installed. power steering pump mount(mounted in alternator/generator location http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/power steering pump/100_0558.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/power steering pump/100_0563.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/power steering pump/100_0618.jpg upper driver side alternator mount http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0664.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0662.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0669.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0672.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0692.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0693.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0694.jpg and the start of the belt adjusters. http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0697.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0699.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/upper alternator mount/100_0700.jpg Basically two 3/8" threaded rods, 1 right handed thread and 1 left handed thread and a coupling with right and left handed threads. Much like a tie rod, turn the coupling to adjust the tension on the belt. Unfortunately all the hardware stores around here don't carry left handed thread bolts and nuts so I had to place a order with Mcmaster Carr. The opposite side brackets will look the same, with a 3/8" nut welded onto the bracket.
You should try the hardware store. Lowes or home depot. Most carry turn buckles for barn doors and other things. Maybe a feed store. So are you running 1 belt or 2. Curious because The crank only has 1 pulley?? Looks really good. One more question. Did you by a kit to mount your steering box, and are you still runing the stock steering wheel. Did you have a write up on that part of your install.
I will be running 2 belts. 1 will go around the crank, water pump and power steering pump. The other will go on the second groove of the p/s pump pulley and up to the alternator. I used the Classic Performance Products (CPP) basic kit to mount the box. I bought the box locally. I am not running the stock column, bought a telescoping/tilt column off a guy on stovebolt.com this is what I bought http://www.classicparts.com/1947-59-Power-Steering-Conversion-Kit/productinfo/76-977/ http://www.classicparts.com/1947-59-Power-Steering-Conversion-Arm-4/productinfo/76-986/ There are quite a few tech articles about installing this kit and using the stock column. Many people use this lower column bearing http://www.classicparts.com/1947-59-Steering-Coloum-Conversion-Lower-Bearing/productinfo/76-987/ http://www.classicperform.com/tech_articles/Power-Steering-Trucks/Power-Steering-Trucks.htm
