I would like to do that as well. I am inexperienced at shopping junkyards, and don't have a lot of time for that. I suppose it will be worth taking some vacation time. I will have to figure it out. If somebody here knows of an opportunity to pick up a serpentine setup and would like to tell me about it, or pull it for me and ship it, I would like to pay for one. I don't care too much for the new aftermarket serpentine setups that I see in catalogs and web sites for $2000-$3000, but would not mind spending some dozens or hundreds of dollars.

I don't and didn't have any rust on any of the pulley grooves. The pulley for the alternator was new, and the water pump and engine crank pulley were cleaned up and painted, and the truck has been a daily driver since then. So there's no time for rust to form, this truck keeps moving. Any rust that was perceived from the pictures was not there, it is the way the light falls when taking pictures I suppose.
