75 F100 AC brackets

I found most of the AC parts at a local JY this week that I need to replace the missing AC components on my 75 F100. All except the brackets that is. I have located a set on Ebay, but they are from a 351M and I have a 360 (4x4 and C6 if that matters). Also, they call it a "hang on" AC. Is that the dealer added version?


I tried searching, but could not find a definitive answer if they would fit. EBay says so, but I don't trust that any more than I trust politicians. I searched on Google and the forums here, but all I found are the AC parts diagrams in the sticky at the top of the page. They are for a 76 and they seem to show the same part number for 302, 360/390, and 460. But I cannot find a diagram for the 351M/400 or a 1975. And call me skeptical, but are they really all the same?

"Hang on" A/C could be either dealer installed or other aftermarket A/C, factory installed A/C is called "integral A/C" by Ford.
Only brackets for the FE series (360, 390) engines will work.
If you are using the original York compressor there are two brackets that you'll need, along with one support and two idler pulleys plus the pulley for the crank.
Give me a little bit of time and I'll get you the part numbers you need.

Here are the part numbers for the brackets you'll need. This is for a '75 F100-350 w/ 360, 390 and integral (factory) A/C. In this case, 4WD and tranny don't matter.
D4TZ-2882-A Bracket, compressor support
D3TZ-2888-A Brace, compressor to ex. manifold
D1TZ-2889-A Bracket
D8OZ-8678-A Pulley, belt adjustment
C5AZ-8678-C Pulley, LH idler
D3TZ-6A312-B Crankshaft pulley

On the water pump pulley, I need more info, do you have power steering and thermactor emissions (smog pump)?
Here's what the brackets look like, This is my set-up. The only difference is I've done the Sanden compressor conversion.

And that folks is why I never trust the Ebay compatibility tool.

It does have power steering and I believe that it originally had the smog pump, but everything was removed by PO, so it is hard to say for sure. The alternator is mounted low and there is an eyelet on the top of the mounting that looks like it should tie into a bracket above it. Additionally, it looks like the fuel tank is set up for evaporative emissions, which is all disconnected but still there. That would also imply smog setup, but no guarantee. All of the other hard clues are gone as it has aftermarket intake manifold and carburetor, headers, and custom exhaust (sans the catalytic converters). If I was a betting man, I would put money on the fact that it had the thermactor system originally, but I have no plans to put it back. Maybe someday if they ever expand smog testing to my area, but for now I don't need it.

Are the numbers you gave specific to the '75 or will other years work? The JY pickings are slim in my area for dentsides, so I need to keep as many options open as possible.

I'll get you more ID and application data but it might take a couple of days. I leaving tomorrow morning on a business trip and probably won't be able to get you the info until Sunday.

D4TZ-2882-A Bracket, compressor support
D3TZ-2888-A Brace, compressor to ex. manifold
D1TZ-2889-A Bracket
D8OZ-8678-A Pulley, belt adjustment
C5AZ-8678-C Pulley, LH idler
D3TZ-6A312-B Crankshaft pulley

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
The correct water pump pulley is D3TZ-8509-C, it will be marked D3TE-EA and is found on 73-76 F100-350 w/ 360-390
The crank pulley is also found on 73-76 trucks with the FE, it'll be marked D3TE-6312-AB and is a triple sheave pulley.
The adjustable idler is found on just about all Ford V8 engines with fact air and is still readily available aftermarket.
The fixed idler is found on 73-76 trucks with the FE.
The 2882 bracket is used on74-75 trucks with the FE
The 2888 bracket is found on 73-75 trucks with the FE
And the 2889 bracket is used on all 73-76 trucks with the FE.
Hope this helps.

Do you know the engineering number on the C5AZ-8678-C? I found an idler pulley on a 73 that appears to have what appears to be a C5AA number but I can't make it out? Here is a pic:

One needs a 1960/66 Master Cross Reference Catalog (that Mike doesn't have), because this info is not in any car or truck parts catalog.

I found an idler pulley on a 73 that appears to have what appears to be a C5AA number but I can't make it out? Here is a pic:
Attachment 151104
What engine did the '73 have, 360 or 390? Or something else?

This idler pulley appears to be marked C5AA-8A618-C .. I could not find a reference, so this is probably a casting number...that cannot be cross referenced to a part number.

C5AZ-8678-C .. Left (drivers) Side Fixed Idler Pulley-Use with FE engines with factory installed integral A/C (1965/68 cars & 1968/76 F100/350) / Marked: C5AA-8A617-F or C7AA-8A617-A or AA / Obsolete

No factory installed integral (combined w/the heater) A/C in F100/350's until 1968. 1965/67's use the same chrome/painted "hang-on" A/C bezels as 1963/65 Falcon/Fairlane & 1965/66 Mustang.

Applications: 1965/66 F100/250 352 with A/C / 1965/67 Galaxie/LTD 352/390 / 1966/67 Fairlane 390 / 1966/68 Galaxie/LTD 428 / 1967 F100/350 352 with A/C

1968/70 F100/350 360/390 without P/S / 1971/76 F100/350 360/390.

I have a NOS idler that I bought for my 390. I don't have any clear pictures of the casting number but in the second picture you can make out what looks like an "AA" and a "C" on the pictures that I do have.

If the truck had factory installed integral A/C, that has to be C5AZ-8678-C as there's no other fixed idler pulley for the applications.

1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco w/factory installed integral A/C is combined with the heater. The A/C controls are in the same panel as the heater controls.

The vehicle came equipped with integral system. I was just wondering if this idler may have been replaced at some point with something similar.
