Fan belts...want to replace all 4...where to find?

[Steve W]

So...its about time. Although they look OK, its been well over a decade since these belts have been replaced. Yikes!
And as a preventative measure, I want to replace all 4 belts.

Here's the issue I'm having. Shop manual says:

Power steering/AC belts: (2) 38* wedge,  .380" x 59"

Generator belt: (alternator, actaully)  38* wedge,  .470" x 35.50"

A.I.R. Pump belt:  38* wedge   .470" x 45.50"

I cannot find these sizes anywhere. Best I can find for wedge is 36*..so OK.
But the rest? Not even close!

Where do we find belts for our cars?

Thanks.

For a '68, 472? Just about anywhere. Rock Auto, NAPA, Amazon, O'Reilly's, just about any decent parts house.

The hardest part is getting the matched set for the A/C, P/S. They used to be sold like that, as a matched set, but nothing uses dual belts anymore.

Keep the old ones. Put them under the spare or somewhere. And keep a full new set too.

They're very common but they're starting to get harder to find.  The glory days of parts stores having stuff for our gals is fastly coming to an end.  Its even hard to find lead additive at times.  If it doesnt sell they dont keep it in stock.

The only places that I have found matched Fan Belts is at Tractor Supply Stores, and Engineering Suppliers.
