Default help!!

Hi guys. I put a 5.3 into my 83 lwb and I can't find an alternator bracket. I was wondering if there was a place that fabbed these up or where i can buy an oem one. I've contacted a couple of local junkyards and they don't have any. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I sure have, but I can't because of the great rule #3 in the sticky.
