Tension Pulley Dillema
Hey guys, 1967 F100 with 70 something 302V2
The prior owner of my truck that I'm in the middle of restoring to a daily driver yanked the original engine and dropped in a 302 2V. Problem is that he left the power steering pump on and capped off the hoses with the intention of using it as a belt tensioner. Truck has manual steeriing.
Well as you can probably guess, the pump froze today and I had to pull over to cut off the belt that drives the fan. Belt wraps around the main pulley, cooling fan and power steering.
I need to locate a tensioner pulley and bracket. I have no AC or power steering on the truck.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Learned a lession today too. Take tools... had to cut belt off with a CD from by brief case that I snapped in two and used sharp edge to cut belt.
