Looking a power steering and alternator mounting bracket for a 1962 261 in a 62 C10. I have found two styles online: One by Davis Speed Equip and another by Western Chassis (and others). The Davis mount uses two belts, 0ne for the crank pulley to water pump to the steering pump. The second belt is from the steering pump to the alternator. All other mounts I found use one belt. Has anyone here used either of these mounts? and what are your opinions. Thanks.

Joe, I haven't mounts from either of those vendors but I have used Alan Grove products with great success. They have pulleys and brackets for all sorts of configurations.

These are the ones I have found. I think the second may be a better arrangement because it provides better belt to pulley contact. But, I have questions about rigidity of the Davis design.

Joe, the Davis Speed setup looks pretty stout, I wouldn't hesitate to use that design. It may be more money but allows more clearance above the power steering pump, that might be better for maintenance later on.

PS: Once you make your choice please post some pictures, I imagine that other members may be thinking of doing this upgrade as well.
