Higher PS Pump Mount?

It sure looks like that truck bracket- though not pretty- would get the job done. Here is what I'm dealing with:


If I go to the truck bracket, the path for the belt from crank pulley to p/s pulley wants to hit the bottom of the water pump pulley snout (that's what I was checking with the strip of leather in the pic).

I think I have a 2-groove water pump pulley: can I just run the power steering pump from that without routing around the crank pulley at all? How did the do the belts & pulleys on the trucks?

Dubob: Is that bracket & p/s pulley something you'd want to sell?
