Does your truck have factory A/C? It looks like it in the photo but the compressor has been removed. I'm trying to get a good photo of the pulleys/brackets on yours. Mine seems to have been peiced together by the PO. My crank pulley is a two piece unit with four v grooves and it sits about 3/8ths inch closer "in" towards the block than the water pump pulley so everything is off and I dont know where.
Anyway- looks like you have a great starting point and a nice place to work on it  |
I think it was the m1008, not totally sure. I got them from a guy that had them under a s-10 mudder so im not sure exactly what he got them off of, I just remember he said some thing about it having a gov lock, so who knows. It has 4.56 gears and that was all I cared about at the time.
And the truck is factory a/c but when I got it the a/c wasn't hooked up. There was no compressor or any lines ran. The 350 I pulled out of it wasn't the original motor, so I guess the PO didn't try to hook up the a/c. Must not need a/c in Utah quite as bad as I do here in southeast texas.
