Re: Project Screamer - '72 GMC K2500 + DD 4-53T

Brackets are a bother!

One of the great things about a project like this one is that there is always something different for me to do. I got tired of working on the sheet metal so I switched to the cross member for the transfer case, when I got tired of working on that, I decided to make the brackets to mount the A/C compressor and power steering pump to the engine.

I didn't realize how much time it would take to make these brackets! I had hoped to use at least part of the brackets from the truck that I pulled the engine from; but, that was not to be. There was a lot more room in the engine bay of the old C-70 and the brackets came out too far. So I had to start from scratch.

Here's the bracket for the A/C compressor:

The power steering pump is just temped in, I will need to move it down so that the A/C compressor belt clears the pulley.
