    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    I dont see much online for the bracketry. There's one ebay listing for one bracket. AC compressor Bracket GM 14033866 Not sure if that is the correct one. Does any big block chevy have an equivalent mounting system and bolt patterns? Junk yards around me have some big block 1980 chevy trucks...

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    It appears the brackets reuse the standard drivers alternator base bracket? Just going by the power steering bracket and those mount points. Hard to find more pictures of m1010 setups online though.

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    I'm looking at the parts TM for the M1010 Air conditioning but the page (Figure 251 from TM 9-2320-289-20P) doesnt have a part number listed for the brackets, despite the diagram labeling the bracket as part 11. I guess they consider these parts "lifetime" and never offer replacements? Sure...

    V Belt for larger PS pulley groove?

    Belt for the larger groove pulley is a Gates XL 7475 11A1205. I would be hesitant about that exact belt. It is just a little bit too long. When the PS pump is tensioned, it is still a bit loose compared to the inner belt. Haven't had any squeaks when turning though. Id say if you could find a...

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    Its looking more and more like I should attempt to wedge an AC compressor in where the drivers alternator went. I'm not really sure if I should go with an A6 or R4 compressor. Both seem available and "fit" according to rock auto...

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    That looks like a good option. Do you happen to know what part number it is on their site? They appear to have a ton of options for chevy compressor mounting.

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    I definitely agree that a serpentine setup is better and more reliable. But even pulling all the components from a junk yard truck would still cost a bit, and be very time intensive to pull the entire front end of an engine thats junk (to me) in a couple years. Definitely cheaper than buying all...

    Mounting an AC compressor on stock 6.2?

    With summer being here, I am diving into the task of adding AC to my m1028. The AC kits around that replace the entire air box and come with all the controls, ducting, vents, lines, and condenser look to be a turn-key option for not a ton of money (currently looking at the classicautoair kit)...

    Brake Tube/Fitting sizes?

    A quick follow-up to the LMC truck stainless kit. I decided to go with it because it was an easy option for long lasting brake lines. One big caveat, they do not sell a kit for K30's and so, the rear lines going into the load sensing brake valve do not fit at all. I also ran into issues with...

    NV4500 to NP208?

    At least for mine, 98 NV4500, the driveshafts didnt move at all. With the advance adapters bellhousing, it is the exact length as the th400.

    Brake Tube/Fitting sizes?

    I wonder what the market is like for frame assemblies. My frame is pretty much covered in rust, yet to see any perforations though (other than brackets). I hope to soon pull the body and drivetrain out and do a hot dip galvanization, might be easier with a less rusty frame and just do a swap...

    Brake Tube/Fitting sizes?

    That kit looks very enticing. I am concerned that I have a dually K30, and their kits only go up to K20 (1/2 ton). I'd hope the brake lines are rated for the higher gvwr. It looks like #34-5633 (Brake Line Kit-8pc-Pwr Longbed 4 Wheel Drive 1/2 Ton 81-87) is the one that might fit a CUCV.

    Brake Tube/Fitting sizes?

    Thanks for the offer, but I want to make my own lines from stainless steel to avoid the rusting issue in the future. I'm mainly looking for part numbers to specific specs (thread size, count, hex size, tube diameter) so I can identify which sections use what and not waste time or money...

    Brake Tube/Fitting sizes?

    I tried looking up some part numbers for the inverted flare fittings in the brake system, but I cannot find any details about the thread spec or nut size, if the part number even exists. And the few posts on here I hear reference to 3/16 and 1/4" tube sizes. But the part #s won't tell me... Can...

    Finding Fastener Nut/Bolt Sizes from Part numbers?

    I don't mind taking a ton of time to do it either. Its a long term project, and can be divided up into small portions. 304 stainless is pretty common to find in higher grades, but 316 is almost impossible to find with tensile strengths around 150k PSI. If I'm going to the trouble of replacing...

    Finding Fastener Nut/Bolt Sizes from Part numbers?

    I've been going through TM9-2320-289-20P, which has the part numbers for all components, but they don't list bolt/nut specifications (thread count, pitch, length, ect). Even googling the part number and pulling up random listings for the part don't specify the specific sizes. I am looking to...

    How to replace windshield washer pump switch?

    Is the blinker/washer/wiper switch assembly able to be dissasembled if I pull the steering wheel with the column still in the truck?

    How to replace windshield washer pump switch?

    Finally decided to tackle the electrical problem with the windshield washer pump switch. The pump itself works when I manually ground the pink wire. I can ground the pink wire near the pump, or near the switch (on the column) and the pump functions. When I test continuity with a volt meter...

    Civi Intake Resonator install?

    You and I have very different hardware stores around us. Home depot and lowes around here have the crappiest selection of rubber adapters. Could barely find a normal circular one.

    Civi Intake Resonator install?

    I am having one hell of a time finding an oval to round adapter. Its a 3" round for sure, but the oval is a 2x4" which apparently just doesn't exist. Anyone find a proper adapter? Link to it?
