The motor only has 60 k on it. At this point the 2.6 is out and I am prepping the 2.3. My whole family are diesel people, we have several power strokes, and some idi's as well as cummins. This is my second 2.3, sold the first which was a big mistake so I figured I would do is conversion to make up for it. The d 50 is an extended cab so it will be nice. I am currently having a problem locating the bracket to mount the ac condenser from the 90 , the 83 diesel did not have ac, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks y'all
So your looking for a bracket for the Diesel motor.

First off, 1990 models did not come with a 2.6, it either came with a fuel injected 2.4 or 3.0 V6. You probably have a 1989 which came with a carbed 2.6, unless some did a engine swap.

Secondly, the AC compressors from an 83 and 90 are probably not the same and mount differently. So you'll either have to make a custom bracket or modify a stock one to adapt the 90 AC compressor to a 83 diesel.

For example, I have a 1990 that originally came with a 2.4L and swapped a 2.6. I used a 2.6 ac compressor/alt. bracket and modified to mount the 1990 ac compressor.
