Belt sizes

[MisterB]

I've got a 350 with power steering and no A/C. I would like to replace both the fanbelt/alternator and the fanbelt/power steering. NAPA shows both belts are the same exact part number. Does that sound right?

Interesting. I wonder if it changed in 1980, or if it makes a difference mine is a 3/4 ton K25?

I dont know about the other models.I replaced my belts in 2018 because they had been on the truck since 2003 and I was afraid they would rot off going down the road. Lol

It depends on how much adjustment room you have. As long as a belt fit's the Pulley's correctly a shorter, or longer belt will fit as long as the proper tension can be put on it. This Summer the serpentine setup I pulled off a 92 GMC Sierra 5.7 is going on my 87 V-20.

I have an 80 k10 with 350. I do not recall two identical belts on it. I do have AC but not running the belt as it doesn't work anyway.

I do remember getting a wrong belt for the PS I believe first. There several belts that could be on it if I remember right. Tomorrow I will get the numbers off mine if you want

For my ‘75 K25 the belts are definitely not identical in length.

There are two choices for my PS belt. The shorter one only goes around the crankshaft and PS pulleys. The longer one (with HD cooling) also goes around the water pump pulley. With the longer belt you can have a loose or broken alternator belt, and the PS belt will still keep the water pump turning.

Thanks guys. I took a pic of my belts, and one of them still had the NAPA part number on it, which matched the part number their web site still shows is correct. The other belt is more worn, and I can't see a part number on it.

Went ahead and stopped by NAPA, and they confirmed that both belts should be the same size, so I paid for the online store pickup order. I haven't replaced them yet, but I'll let everyone know how that goes. I'm hoping there is enough adjustment to make the other belt fit, but we shall see. I wouldn't be too surprised if I have to take the old belt in to have them manually find one that is the same size

Take belt off measure the length, buy the same length or one size longer or shorter if it helps with the adjustment range.
You can do all this from home and know which one you need to buy before even going to the store.

How many blades is your fan??

Go to the wrecking yard and pull the entire serpintine system off a Vortec sb. It's the best "less than a $100" upgrade you can do. Dump the ancient Vbelts.

Call me crazy, but I like the v-belts without the smog pump.

I got mine off a 92 GMC 2wd 1/2 ton. The fan won't fit my 87's shroud so I need to get a 19 inch reverse rotation fan. I'm going to upgrade to a 115 amp alternator. My serp setup cost $125, hope to install this summer.

Pull it and plug off the exhaust manifolds.

Is your setup a belt that goes around crank, waterpump, and alternator, with another belt that goes around the crank, waterpump, and power steering?
