Hey guys just checking in and hoping you all hang around a little longer for me. Right now I am in the middle of finishing up two projects in the garage. We are in the last two weeks of the big block 502 install in the 64 Malibu SS and now the 66 Burb is painted we are working on final assembly. Not that I am trying to boost my other thread as it has a small following but you really need to click on the 66 Burb link I have and check it out since we got it back from paint. It is still a chevy truck and I think you might find the color along with the wheels another concept for you pickup. I am very excited to see this truck come together.

For the above reasons we have taken a break on the pickup truck to focus on these other 2 vehicles because we are nearing the finishing line and I will be so happy to be able to focus entirely on the pickup truck.

However, I am still shoping for parts and wanted to show you guys the pulley system I have been working on. With mulitple projects buying 2 or 3 Billet Specialties Surpentine Systems at $2400 a wack was too much to swallow for me. Pulley systems make the motor but not only did I not want to spend that much I wanted something unique. Because I am using alot of black my pulley system will also be black. Check out the system I am close to ordering and tell me what you think of it.

The picture link does not work for me?

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

sorry guys, I was on a computer that would not let me copy and paste a link. I tried to enter in manually but no luck.

At home now and here is the picture of the pulley system. Yes, that is a 2 inch belt on there.......they also make them with 1 inch. I think its pretty unique.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

I love the look of the cog belt but I doubt you could run to any auto parts store in any town usa and get a belt better pack a spare just in case. I say go for it.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

That is a great idea........thanks

check out post #175 on this thread. I posted a great pic of the Malibu.;)

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

Thats a very nice looking system. Who makes it?

I have a system coming for my Malibu. Its due here in 3 days. Once I get it I will give you a review and show you the install pics.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

Thats who I thought it was, just couldnt remember the name. Its a very nicr system at a great price. The only thing that I didnt care for was their a/c mount being on the driver side. That means longer runs on those hoses that are hard to hide. If your not running a/c they are cake at a bargain price.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

Check out this picture again. He just came up with a compressor mount under the alternator. It is not noticeable in this picture other than you can see the pulley for the compressor under the alternator. He just came out with this and I should have my system in a few weeks.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

Looking forward to your review on this...like the way that setup looks. I'd like to see them do a 1" setup also like you pictured in 2" with the serpentine belt for the ps

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

Cool, I missed that. Guess that happend when you browse the posts on your cell.

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

Hey guys, I got a box today full of goodies for my 64 Malibu. What you see in the first picture is about $825 worth. I wanted to give this pulley system a shot and see if I liked it. I would give the quality a 9 out of 10 if I had to be picky. I gave it a 9 because I found a few small imperfections. In reality once we get these shiny objects on our vehicles they never look as good as they did coming out of the box.

It looks simple enough. What you notice first is the 2 inch wide cog pulleys. Looks almost like a blower motor. I think the alternator looks cool with the big pulley and it is just a beautiful piece of aluminum. For some reason the serpentine belt for the power steering pump did not come with the kit. Right now I am not installing the A/C in the Malibu. I figure it would cost $1500 more to get the A/C in the car and I need to prove to myself I am going to drive it more before i throw that money down. Anyway I just dont have the time to install an A/C system because we are trying to make a November 4 show with the car.

It was actually pretty easy to bolt up. It took about an hour to install. I already had the chrome power steering pump which did not come with the system.

This system uses the long water pump which I was concerned with on the limited space in the Malibu engine compartment with the big 502. The water pump pulley sets back so overall the system only sticks out 3/8" farther than the water pump. So in reality if you went with the 1" belt you wouldnt be creating any more clearance because the front location of the 1" pulley would be the same as the front of the 2" pulley.

I will be ordering the 2" kit with A/C in black powder coat for my C10. I do have a black theme going and anyway it will save me the trouble of polishing.:lol:

great build! Can't wait to see the finished truck!

Re: 69 slammed, 22"/24" bbc shaved clean
 

Had a little spare time last week so worked a little on the inner fenders. Do yourself a favor, buy Slosh Tubz........they are not near the work. Damn this fenders are alot of work!!!

We are finishing up a few projects in the shop and hoping to get back on the C10 in a few weeks. I would really like to see this truck done by January so to hit a few of the indoor World of Wheels shows during the winter season.

That's the reason I got a set of tubz. Sooo many other things to build or work on.
