Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 6 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 6 | I have a 1950 GMC 2-ton with 248 engine that I need a fan belt for. Looks like a 5/8 on it, but seems loose in the pulley. Wondering if a replacement belt should be 3/4. Anyway, I'm looking for a resource for one. Checked Jim Carter, but they're back ordered. Open to suggestions. Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,841 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2016 Posts: 1,841 | Do you have a belt in it currently?, you can take it to Napa and they should be able to measure it and come up with something that will fit. Measure the width of the groove in the sheave and the depth if you can.

I hadn't thought that NAPA would carry a belt for old bolts, but I have a store near me so I'll take a look at that.

I got on NAPA’s website and looked up the number. Went to the local store and gave them the number. One of the applications for that belt was a washing machine. And it was a made in USA Gates belt. Oh, they also had it in stock, if I remember right.
