Help identifying brackets
« on: July 10, 2007, 03:28:12 pm »
Does anyone know were I can get exploded diagrams of the power steering and air conditioner compressor brackets for a 82 c-10 w/350 SB. The truck originally had a 305. If anyone has pictures that might help identify and locate brackets email to steve.rayburn@smith-nephew.com.

I know I should have taken pictures, dropped my digital camera and need to replace.

Help!

I have the alternator mounted and I have pictures of the power steering pump mounting.

All I need is pictures of the AC compressor mounted to a SB engine.

Again I have an 82 C-10 with a 350 SB.

Does anyone have this truck with air, if so could you take some pictures. It would be greatly appreciated.

I went to several used car lots and the three 80 model trucks did not have the compressor mounted.

Help!!

What kind of compressor is it?  Do you have pictures of the brackets you have?  If so we can tell you where they go.

My 81 C-10 used to be a 305 swapped to a 350 with air. I'll take some pics when I get home...

Thanks for the pictures. There is a flat, triangular shaped bracket, large hole off center, and three holes one in each corner. Does anybody know were this is used?

Post a pic of the bracket in question.  Or is your camera still out of service?

Does it have sort of a "leg" on one corner of the triangle?  If so you may be talking about a bracket that bolts flat to the cylinder head and supports the AC with the "leg" end.

It would be this one (directly behind the PS cap): http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb247/1985C10/P7110080.jpg

I want to thank all those who responded. I got it all back together this last weekend. Next time pictures will be required before dismantling.
