the alternator bracket will look something like this
http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/alternatorbracket.jpg Basically picture that you are standing in front of the truck looking at the engine, holding the bracket as its positioned in the rendering. The tab on the right with the 3/8" hole will be bolted to the head. see this picture http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/rockfan1815/PIC00007a.jpg I will do as I am for the p/s pump and use right and left threaded rod and a coupling for the other mount and to adjust tension on the belt. It might possibly hold a generator but Im not 100% positive. Fla54Chevy3100's version might work better as it uses the coolant neck mounting holes on the head. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2989145720090459121eNtSyv I could draw up the plans to do the same thing if someone wanted them. The only thing im not sure of is if the generator will fit in the space, if its to long it might hit the distributor. I have a generator here, when it warms up I will go see if its possible.

Looking at it I see no problem with not enough belt touching the pulley. Doesn't take much to add a idler pulley to bring the belt around the pulley more if needed.

I got the pieces cut out from a place here in PA called laserfab http://www.laserfab.net/ I just did a search on google for laser cutting service. This will also locate local services http://www.thomasnet.com/products/laser-cutting-services-43277201-1.html
