Part#s in post # 39.
But here is part of another post from another thread which doubles down on ALL of this info + pictures:
Here are 2 ways I did my 94 which may or may not be similar. First is with original belt, but I did not consider it very safe. Second is with a 96.08 inch belt & sorry but I can't find the Dayco number.
The tensioner wheel is a metal idler for a 5.8 F-250. For some reason the 150 was plastic.
The way I came up with the belt size, was using 1/2 inch high strength nylon rope, I strung it around the needed path & tied it with a square knot. Notice in the second pic the belt routs under the tensioner. This is important. It is not meant to put tension in that direction.
After I got a rough length with the rope, I took a 2x4 drove a nail in one end & stretched the loop out tight, drove another nail & measured the distance, then multiplied by 2. It took 2 trips to my mom & pop parts store to get the correct length. If there is slippage (squeal), you can use washers under the 3 alternator mounting pads in equal numbers.
No guarantees made, your results may vary.
Good luck.

Thanks...Not sure why you're shaking your head there
For some reason, I thought the part numbers you posted in post #39 were for the 5.0 engine. I'll try the belt you mentioned in post #39 with my 5.8, hopefully I won't have any slippage.

I had my smog pump freeze up on me and I did the same thing. I removed the pulley and installed a smaller belt and it worked like a charm.
