Re: 1974 C10 New Belt Size?

A good way to get in the ballpark is a piece of rope. Then buy that size along with one size longer and one size shorter.

For example, if the rope length is 45", pick up a 445, 450, and 455. And if you're lucky, one of them will work. If not, at least you'll be close to zeroing in on the correct size.
