Iirc, accessory brackets off a Corvette were the only ones that cleared the frame on a 73-87.

You're right about the frame interference - I ended up buying a a/c relocate kit from Bowers rod shop in OR. The kit relocated the a/c to the upper left side of the motor. Pricey, but good quality. If I were to do it again, I would move the alternator to the left side and relocate the a/c where the alternator is now. It would make it easier to run a/c lines (shorter) and I could get different valve covers if I wanted.
Once the rear end of the truck is finished, the a/c is next on the list.
