looking for an ac bracket

[mikeoverland]

Greetings all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that everyone is doing well. I was wondering if anyone knows where i can get an ac bracket for an 81 C10 with a 250 I6? this is the bracket that bolts to the passenger side of the head (4 bolts I think). I was going to put electric ac into my truck but the more that I read about electric ac the more I figured that my money would be better spent anywhere else. Since it is Miserable in South Texas right now ac is kind of a must. Please let me know and thanks as always

Mike

Hell Yes it is hot .. Southeast Texas here .. East of Houston ..

Look in Facebook for New Boyz Squarebody Rescue ... The have all types of Blazer, Truck parts and may have what you are looking for. Due to being a 6 cyl, it may be difficult to locate the part. But I would give Cory a call and see if he can help you ...
1-717-830-9330.

I have purchased many unusual parts from them and have no problem with recommending them.

Good Luck.

Also check out the 12 Bolt website. Tom may have one. I have one, but I am keeping it for my 292.

Mine is buried in a box in a shed. Looking for a photo that matched mine, I found this. https://davisspeedequipment.com/product/10001-194-292-chevy-air-conditioning-bracket-works-with-hei/

This old bracket won't work with HEI, though

Your can’t cut, notch, bend, or some other way modify the the original bracket?

I don't know. Not at that stage yet.

oops, sorry Dingo, I wasn’t paying attention there.
The OP doesn’t have a bracket at all, and he needs one like yours.
That’s a hefty piece, I can’t say I’ve ever seen one before.

@mikeoverland look at the link double dingo put up that bracket is for a 508 Sanden Compressor. That bracket would be simple to build. Heck it's not even expensive to just buy.

I will have to look. I bought this engine in 2019. The extras that came with it are in a box.
