I won't argue with you on that.
Sounds about right.

I can't help linking, I use TMs on my phone, not online versions. I used TM 2320-289-34P. Figure 124 item 26. Page is 124.1

Yup. That's what mine looks like.
This was my old bracket......
So a couple of questions for the folks that have been down this path:
1. Can the bracket be welded?
2. Are these available in the junkyard on other chevys?
3. Is there any expectation I can order a new one?
4. Can I get the bracket off the pump without disturbing the lines?
5. Does anyone have one they're willing to sell and can ship flat-rate to me?

1. In my opinion not directly in the angle....i would cut off 1-2" before the angle and form a new angle and weld it to the bracket.
2. I don't know
3. In Germany.....yes, but judging from the price they are made of gold.
4. You can do the job without Breaking the lines. You just need a pulley puller....

Yes it can be welded. They are hard to find. How hard i am not sure. they are a discontinued GM part and the last I checked they have been out of the system. They can be welded and improve on. That has been done before. I still remember buying them for less then $15. from GM. But fix what you have and improve it. i have 2 that need fixed among others. At this point I will not even part with a broken one. I would say a good weld shop will be able to do it for you. And you must remove the pulley to get the belt off. So you can do that with out removing the lines. I did it on one of my later threads of Terminus M1009.
1. Bracket can be welded and improved
2. Hard to find item.
3. You can not order a new one
4. The bracket can be removed with the pump still hooked to the lines. the pulley will need removed with a puller.
5. Check E bay and look around. I am sure you can find one. i tried to have a fab shop make them. That was not cost effective.
I hope that helps. Good luck and have a great day.

The strange thing is that the brackets that can be purchased in Germany, come from the States

May be strange but if I were you I would buy a few. That rhymes. But buy them and vend them here.

Pulling the pulley off while the pump was still in there was a giant fail. I disconnected two of the three lines and managed to get the pump up on top of the radiator overflow bottle. That didn't make it much easier and the puller was junk. Using a big pair of pliers to hold the jaws of the puller in the groove and my DeWalt 20V impact driver wasn't working and I was about to give up for the evening when I finally got the pulley to move.
So it's off now and I'll take it to work tomorrow and show it to a guy that does welding. I'm not sure how much it can be improved upon given the clearance issues on the engine. I'll drop by the wrecking yard tomorrow evening and see if any of the old chevys still has its pump bracket. Maybe I'll get lucky and find it in tossed unceremoniously into the cab like it had no value.

If I recall correctly, this was a CUCV only item. Not found on civy Chevys.

Yep due to the dual alternators. Maybe someone else can verify, my memory is dodgy at best.

That looks like a regular Power-Steering bracket to me.

Welcome and good luck.
Greetings from San Diego, all the way in the opposite corner.
You've come to the right place for information and tips.
I was going to ask what that was on the front grille, but then I saw you're from Maine, so It looks to be a Winterization kit.
Keep us posted

It is, and it has (what i believe) to be an engine block heater. It needs a lot of body panels, minor bits like tailgate regulator, hood latch, etc, and a going over of the engine as it has been sitting for 5 years, luckily it was a freshly rebuilt 6.2 before being parked. It was a coworkers husbands baby before he passed. he had a lot of the accessories; radio mount, decon bottle bracket, spare blackout lights, etc. and he was meticulous on records.
