My 55 is wired for the Ford alternator which I would like to keep when it gets a Y block again and was wondering if there are brackets available or is it time to make my own.

I got one of Mummerts brackets and love it. It looks great on my engine.

He's looking for brackets for a Ford alternator. Mummert and Speedway brackets are for GM.
I don't think you will find a Ford bracket. That is hardly done in the aftermarket. I think some later Y's, maybe only 1964, did have alternators but they are extremely rare.
Can a GM bracket be modified easily to fit a Ford alternator? For that matter, the stock generator brackets may be easy to modify for the job.

You should be able to use the Stock Gen. Brackets with a little work. A spacer to fill the opening in the Bracket on the Block where the Alt. is shorter and the adjustment arm can be reshaped to work with the Alternator. I think there have been several of these done by other Members on the Site.

Mummert has one that I absolutely think Ford would have designed it that way if the car came with an alternator.
My price was $100.00 which I thought was pricey until I got it and the quality is unmatched.

I am going to do it cheap so I will make what I have work before spending anywhere close to 100 for brackets,that is money that can be used for building the motor.

These alternator brackets were used on the late 1964 trucks with 292's
Part number are Best I can make out from parts book
C3TZ-10145-D superseded to D0HC-10145-d
C3TZ10156-A
C3TZ-10A313-A
Green Sales has 3 of the front brackets, 2 of side brackets and none of the adjuster bracket.
This is what the brackets look like

I will have to check a local old junkyard that has some early 60s ex state trucks and see if there are any left that had a alternator,I did get a set for my brother in law who had a 57 wagon at the time and hope there is another set. I do not live far from green sales so I might have to go there if I come up empty at the junkyard.
