NOS Goodyear power steering belt
« on: February 25, 2019, 04:14:08 PM »
I am looking for an NOS Goodyear power steering belt. I don't know if it matters but it's a non AC car. Thanks to anyone that may be able to help.

I have a belt part number, but it's not a GY number. I can post the number and you can try and cross reference.

It shows to be a 52 9/16 OD belt. I would think a part number with 52 for size should fit.

I am not sure of the size. The belt that's on there now is a Gates belt that is cogged. I was able to get an NOS  Goodyear alrernator belt prior to this show but now Im looking for this one.

The newer gates number is 7520, but I do not have an older cross reference for the non-ribbed original stlyle belt. You may ask this seller to get you a measurement of circumference and width. I believe this one should fits lengthwise.

No problem,
You had my attention with the fawn colored original. I have never seen one in a GS. The last time I saw that color was on a GM promotional model car of a 1962 corvette that they gave my dad when he bought his new 327 vette in early 63 because the dealers wanted to get rid of any old stuff on the lot. It was given to me as a little kid to play with....and of course,is loooooong gone,Dan

I had to look up some paint chips(or stop eating them)....but your car appears to be lighter than Lorens car. Are they both champagne mist? Maybe it is the lighting in the pic,but I was thinking Lorens looked darker. It could be just the contrast of colors with the light colored top that looks different to me.It is not called fawn in 65,but the fawn shows up as an interior color.

Loren,
  I would be interested in it if you want to sell it as long as it's a non-cogged belt? The response I got from the guy on ebay was that his belt is 52.5 inches and 7/16 width. He said it should work on my power steering.

 Been meaning to add this picture of an NOS Buick belt.  The P/N on this belt is 1355403 and supersedes to 1375405. Hard to see the Gates logo embossed at the end of the part number.
