My truck has dealer added AC, but the comp bracket looks like a hacked together, backyard, pos. Even uses pipe nipples for spacers! Anybody else have dealer air on their 300? I could really use a pic of a good example to redesign mine. Mine uses the Sanden compressor, but I also have a York I may use. Perhaps a later, factory bracket may work? Were they combined with the steering pump, or did they have separate brackets?
I tried the 73-79 forum too, without results.

 

I just happened to have this pic on photobucket. If you need a better pic, I can get you one tonight. The support on the back of the bracket that goes to the block is spaced away from the block by about a dozen fender washers. There's also one more bracket that goes from the upper driver's side of the compressor to the mounting bolt for the coil.

 

Thanks for the reply! That is quite different from mine, especially the support to the coil mount. I am wondering though what the front looks like, and how the belt is tensioned.
