Folks,

In working on the truck (1957 M52 gass engine) we had to remove the passenger side fender to get at the exshaust system (see other thread on that). In looking over the engine i noticed that the air compressor belt has a large crack in it and needs to be replaced. Do i need to remove the radiotor to get to it? When in there i will also replace the other belts and check the hoses to the radiator. Anyone who has done this on the gas engine 5 ton truck?

Thanks
David

Air compressor is air cooled and mouted on the passenger side on the engine block. Are the belts for thes special, or can it take it off and go to a NAPA store and get match?
