Like I said, my buddy cobbled it together. He put a double pulley from a small block Chevy on the water pump and then ran a belt from the water pump to the power steering pump. The belt for the water pump is adjusted using the "Alternating Generator" (Just love those old GMC adverts) and the power steering pump is supposed to be adjusted using its own brackets. He used the double pulley setup for the power steering, but only uses one groove. I think he did that to make things easier to line up, and he did not want to try to rig a double pulley set up for the drive pulley on the crank. That was one of the things I wanted to see if GMC made for the later model engines. I was hoping to find a double pulley lower pulley, and a proper bracket for the pump. The bracket setup that is on it now will not allow for a full adjustment of the pump. I can modify it with a bit of strap steel and two bolts, but it will STILL be a cobbled together setup.
