Chris,

I note that the engine had a '33-'34 front motor mount bracket, which given that it came out of a '33, makes sense. What it also means is that you cannot use that bracket as it won't line up with the insulators on your truck's front cross member as those are 5" further apart than on '32s. It also means that the front timing gear cover from the engine from your truck must also be used as the motor mount brackets have different spacing of their attachment to the timing gear cover.

The '33-'34 crankshaft pulley is also different being shorter front to back so you will need to use the '32 version. As the generator is attached to the front timing gear cover, the crankshaft pulley and front timing gear cover must be a matched pair or the generator pulley will not line up with the crankshaft pulley when you attempt to install the fan belt.
