Yes Sir, very proud!

Not sure they are just over 1/2 inch wide, I did not measure the belt but I did on the the pully on the alternator and it was 1/2 inch. The way the belt sat I would have to say the belts are 9/16 but that seem like an odd size or maybe they are metric I know I will catch heck replacing them, I tried to pull one off to bring with me today and it would not squeze between the rad and the front pulley

Yes, you probably looked at, I found it here on the for sale board. I was looking at a tandem found one from New York that was in better shape just needed paint but it had no title and when I researched on getting one here in Missouri it was going to be a pain because the truck changed hands so many times without a title after 1973. I spent two days on hold with the State of New York, Massachusetts and Missouri. I told the guy to get a letter from the state and I would buy it. He never called back. I wanted a truck I can register and tool around in not have to trailer everywhere. This one has a good title other than the floor boards not that bad I still have a couple spots on the fenders then it gets a coat of primer and paint then inspection sticker I am trying to have it done to pull my gooseneck for my daughters homecoming parade before school gets out. My pickup is not as cool as the Mack she said.

Could not find one around here for less than $175 so I got one online for $99 with free shipping same one they wanted to sell at NAPA/Oriellys/Advance even checked Ryder they were $200. They all had to be ordered or I would have probably bought one so I would not have to wait. Nobody stocks parts any more so you might as well buy online, most places have free shipping anyways. If it is not a common hardware item you might as well shop on line.

I am going to try and locate one tomorrow. How is yours wired up?

I am familiar with changing and installing the small automotive ones out and rewiring farm tractor conversions but this set up looks a little different then the plug and play GM 65 amperes and I may not get any instructions with my alternator.

Where did you get the alternator? I have been searching around locally for one. Just got the fender off and the generator pulled last night and the alternator I was going to use and swap pulleys, the shaft is to small so it will be going back so I am back in the market. The double pulley on the alternator I bought has a diffrent width and I am sure it would work but why not get something like your set up and use the genorator pulley then I wont worry about tearing up a belt or throwing one.

I was looking for the chrome half dogs more than anything I found some chrome strips will you sell them and the glove box door?

Will you sell the chrome from the hood? I bought a B61 that is missing most of it. I am also looking for a glove box door, hinge and knob/latch.
