Thanks

Here's a nice big clear one for you

I'm not for sure which year the pump is, or if it even makes a difference to be honest.. It is a car pump though.

Cost for the idler assembly is not set in stone... But it'll be anywhere between 250-350. Possibly even less in the future if we decided to produce a bunch at a time. How many people would be interested in something like this?

Thanks,
Chuck

That's the advantage of the bolt-on pulley; you can put spacers under it and use longer bolts to get the pulley out far enough to work with the truck accessories.
