Old leather belt has gone the way of the dodo bird..... stretched & shredded by timer cotter.
Old posts had Gates numbers for serpentine applications for all years of T's
Have sealed fan bearing pulley that a bit larger than the Ford pulley. Crown on crank & fan pulleys is OK.
Thanks for your help in advance.

There may have been some changes in the flat Gates belt numbers in recent years but here are the old numbers.
811 is 22.5 X 1 1/8" wide
813 was 26.75
814 was 31.5
822 was 36X1"
They were listed as industrial belts.
Thank you Aaron
There were still recently made and sold, but some part supplies only advertise them as black rubber belts. None of the suppliers that I found acually listed the manufacturer.
You gotta go to a store that sells Gates belts and hoses.
They can get them, but they may have trouble finding them if they don't talk to the right guy at the ware house.
I have been able to get them from two different parts houses and posters on this site have done the same, but it's been a while.
One year ago, almost exactly, our local Kragen (Auto Parts) was very helpful and had the belts in stock. Small town mountain or rural communities sometimes are nice.

P.S. and I used to hate Kragen's
NAPA also has them.
