Default Gmc v-6 a/c

A bit ago I was reading the list of GMC for sale on Hemmings.com I found a 1965 for sale with a V-6 with A/C, I've attached the pictures.

This give us another option, without a OEM factory bracket AND power steering.

I've called the auction company to see if they will take better pictures and send them, but it look like a simple rear brace and a over the counter front brace?

I know it isn't that simple, but we may give us another option for those with power steering, I cant use the bracket that we made by another BB member.

Let me know what ya think.

OK I just spoke with the auction company and they confirmed this is a vintage air setup, its not listed as a "kit" but the brackets are bought individual, you need a tensioner (as shown) I'm sending an email to VA to see if they can identify the brackets as shown. The owner bought the truck with the A/C setup.

I have a '66 305 with an add on Techumseh style A/C compressor. It's buried in the storage building but next year I'm going in there to do some work. Would any numbers off that help?

If we can get just one bracket, I'd be more than willing to help share the cnc cutting cost IF we could be something that worked.
