    I’m looking for a new bracket, My Truck, 2000 Freightliner w/ 12.7 Detroit came with a York style AC compressor. Looking for a similar bracket, except one that’s made for a Sandens AC compressor. Anyone have one on their Truck, or knows a part # for the bracket.This is my current bracket. Thanks

    Look up a company named AP Air. They have a kit to change over to a sanden style compressor. You can call them & find out what you need & they will point you to a dealer to buy from. They don't sell to the public.

    I’ve already switched it over, modified my existing bracket. I’m familiar with the conversion kits. I’m looking for a original bracket for a pad mount alternator and Sandens compressor. Dealer usually needs a vin #. I may have found the one I need. Dealer may be able to help fill in the blanks. The one I need must have a spot for belt tensioner. This one may be it, but doesn’t show a picture of the other side.

    I have 1 possibly 2 of them. Those aren't cheap brackets.

    The one I need is for a Sanden, pad mount compressor. Do you know the part #? If a vin # from a Truck so equipped? Probably a Freightliner, 12.7, 2002 and up

    I've not been to my dad's. I'll swing by today and see if I can locate it. It's been outside but was new when I got it. I was switching to a pad mount sanden and decided not to for simplicity.
