Am looking to replace the 3 pulleys on my 69, 383.
Alternator, (need single groove), fan, and crankshaft. Note attached pic of current crankshaft pulley...it has 2 grooves, but only need 1. Is it possible that this is a "mounted inside another pulley" set up? It sure looks like 2 pulleys in 1?

I just bought a crank pulley and water pump pulley for my 400 from Mancini Racing. I bought the black single groove (No A/c or P/S), but I believe they also offer chrome versions
 
$90 each for a chrome pulley? They must be gold plated underneath !!!
 
Take yours off and have them powder coated.. Might be hella cheaper. Chrome is just asking for rust.. Eastwood makes an affordable powdercoating rig. Just get an old oven and have fun.

Kinda sorta a chrome freak....but that is kinda cool....
 
I'll withhold most opinions on Eastwood in the spirit of cooperation :D but will mention their powders are relatively awful (old, chunky, often recycled and ALWAYS overpriced) in the grand scheme of what's available in the industry. By the time you invest in decent non-Eastwood equipment, an adequate compressor and an old Craig's List $25 oven, you could have nearly every piece of metal on your engine professionally done. And it will LAST.

Simply put, you can buy an equally affordable rig with comparable "features" from Harbor Freight.

Now I'm all for DIY -- it's what got me started back in 1999 on my own hot rod's parts -- but when you compare it and run the cost vs. benefit analysis, why reinvent the wheel? We all support the automotive hobby! Support those who support YOU.

Here's some pulleys and brackets ...View attachment 674841 View attachment 674843
... and a good chrome replica powder ...
But do you have CHROME pulleys?
 
I have a nice used original lower single groove crank pulley that has been chromed. I will send a PM with info
