NO NOTCH NEEDED! - 2nd Design LOW MOUNT LS Swap AC Bracket - UTX

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today at Ugly Truck, we’re fabricating another low mount AC compressor bracket for another 5.3L LS swapped squarebody C10. Jerry’s first bracket design used a stretch fit belt, which led to some issues. So today, we’re using a belt tensioner and thicker steel for the perfected compressor mount! Be sure to check out the first video for more info!
Check out the FIRST BRACKET DESIGN here! • Don't NOTCH That FRAME...
Here's a list of what we used:
- 3" x 3/8" steel flat bar
- 1 1/2" x 3/8" steel flat bar
- 3/4" x 3/4" steel square bar
- 11/32" drill bit amzn.to/3PiFg63
- 10 x 1.50 mm tap amzn.to/3Tt4j92
- OE Tensioner - Gates 38159 amzn.to/3Iw4J8m
- OE Size Belt - Gates K040378 amzn.to/438sXPy
- Updated Tensioner (smaller pulley, more travel, we like this one!) - Continental 49276 amzn.to/3wXYKXb
- One Size Up Belt (easier to install) - Gates K040382 amzn.to/43gwImc

    With all the LS stuff out there it’s hard to believe no one is making a low AC mount. Good job guys!

    Awesome intro guys!!! I hope to be back on my engine in a few days. I just got back home. I was admitted for a mini stroke. I'm good now. Just need to make a few changes. My grand daughter wants to learn as well. I am very excited about that as well. Gotta make a few changes for them. I plan on being here a long while. Emily, I have (HEARD) that even looking at a weld through a camera can damage your eyes. Not sure how true it is.

    You guys are the king and queen of the ls! I'm finally driving mine in an 86 gmc 3500 3+3. One question I have is where do you get the air conditioning hoses? I need the same ones you have on that truck right there at the end of the video. Thanks again for the gas pedal plate!

    Hey Lou, that's awesome!! We're so glad to hear your swap is on the road! We didn't do the swap on this truck, we just moved the engine back and fixed some things. I'm not sure where those hoses came from, and thankfully we didn't have to mess with them. An AC hose video has been on our to-do list for a while, so we'll have a video on how we do it coming up soon. We appreciate you watching, Lou! And congrats on your swap!! 👍 --Emily and Jerry

    Stretch Belt We have a ‘21 Trail Boss Silverado with the 5.3. Changing that belt (what I think was a little too early) really sucked. So much work for a belt. Made sure to put even MORE tools in the truck toolbox because of that.

    Jerry, nice job on the bracket! I was thinking that some modifications to the factory bracket could help it fit. If it does, I will still have a tight squeeze on the a/c hoses; right? Does your bracket bring the compressor closer to the engine block making room for factory hose connections?

  • @UglyTruckExperience

    @UglyTruckExperience

    Hey Joey! Yes, this bracket brings the compressor in about an inch, and also rotates it a little to make more room for the factory hose connections. Check out this video, showing how it all ends up fitting. kzread.info/dash/bejne/c2ii1KmAZcvemqw.html

    I lied 😂 one more question… does the rear bolt of your bracket lie directly behind the motor mount causing you to have it installed before setting the engine in place? Mine is directly behind the mount.
