The right belt?

Had to pick up a belt today for my 352 the guy asked if I wanted the 5/16 or the 7/16? Went with the 7/16 cause bigger is better right? not sure if it's the right one or not any advise? It looks like it will fit fairly flush might stick up a tiny bit but i thought once it was in and tight it should be close. We're getting dumped on pretty good again up here and haven't been able to go try it on yet.

So i guess I'm close enough I did get a 43 inch too. I measured and it was 44 but about at the end of adjustment.
Thanks again Mr. Helpful appreciate your help and you know we're just razzin you about pics of your truck. Don respects your reasons and that's good enough for me it would be great to see it sometime since you have all the bells & whistles.

I had Don here for a week last June...he didn't ask, I didn't volunteer.

From what he says, he's comin' back again this June, which means I'll be stuck....uh....he's staying here again.

Gonna have a full house, cuz Bill W & Co. may be coming over, also.

Don may have company if it comes to sleepin' on a couch...cuz, they're usually the domain of our 5 Basset Hounds!
