Tony made one for his suburban but I'm not sure he posts on here much anymore. I'll message him and have him put his pics here. I sent you an email with a pic of some hooks too.
I found a new 3rd gen Cummins genuine tensioner for $75 so went with that.

An IC 1st gen hub would probably work better but they are hard to find. Do you have one? I wish I had one to at least borrow to look at/measure. Unfortunately I sold both 92 dodge w250's i had awhile back. I may just fab one up like you say.

Got your email. now I see you emailed me back late Jan, not sure why i didn't get it or see it before!

Sounds good! You have a great project there and we'd like to see more of it.


I took the running boards off awhile back but forgot to post a pic. I think it looks better
