    That looks like a good set up different than Detroit ear mount set up . I see good a/c lines w/ bracket either tube-O or Rotolock. Thats a “short body” compressorI was thinking serpentine belt set up as he had a tensioner. I have a Air Products catalog if part #s needed

    Maybe rounded out a little already. The Detroit brackets holes are too big brand new. Try metric bolt might get lucky with right fit.

    54CF8F12-E2DB-4C7D-BD67-5023606B9544.jpeg So this is my new to me old truck. Should I be keeping an eye on this and planning for the bracket conversion?

    I'm not an expert. Mine did not have this extra bracket. It did not seem like the most practical way of securing a heavy bracket and compressor under periodic tension with only 2 bolts into an aluminum pad.

    Mine never really sounded healthy when the compressor kicked in. If you just watch the compressor when it kicks in , it is quite obvious. It's either steady or it's moving about. Mine always blew cold but my doubts were eventually confirmed. Thanks for the pic. I will be adding an extra bracket to mine even with the conversion.
