76 V-Belts?
I have a '76 F-150 Ranger Supercab, don't know if it is a 360 or 390, has a 2 BBL carb, A/C , A/T and P/S. Got four accessory belts. Would like to know if anyone has the correct lengths of these belts. Thanks!

If your truck has an FE it is possible that it is either a 360 or a 390. The fifth digit in the VIN denotes the engine size. An H is for a 390 2V and a Y is for a 360 2V in the 1976 year model. Unless you are very familiar with this truck don't depend on the VIN for indentifying the engine.

Almost forgot to answer the belt question. If you determine the engine is an original type indicated by the VIN for the truck then it is simple. The parts store should have replacements listed in an electronic catalogue. If for some reason the parts store has no idea what belts you need then do this. If the engine is still equipped with belts, just take them off and have the parts store measure them for replacements. If they can't do that then find another parts store.
