'87 desmogged 60 belts ?, Please Help/Advise

I tried the search couldn't find what I need.

I have a completely desmogged 60 running a header. It has three belts (they don't ride correctly in the pulleys: sit low in the groove). What belts should I run? Any part numbers would be greatly appreciated. Changing belts and fan clutch this week; the sooner the better. I have to make an 8 hour drive this weekend.

Any earlier Yota belts work?

Thanks in advance!!!

Pickup some Toyota belts or Napa should have the right size belts.

Call American Toyota and order the parts. The number is in the banner in this link and you get a discount:

Thanks for the reply! Can't do American and CDan now due to the time crunch. What about the difference on the belt since no smog pump?

Which belts can I run stock? Which one needs to be different? Any particular year of earlier 2f say from a 40 that would work?

Thanks again!!!

The only belt that would be any different than what is listed at your local parts store would be the one that used to drive the smog pump. Did you put any kind of idler pulley or new accessory (i.e. - second alternator) in place of the smog pump when it was desmogged?

If the length of that belt is in question compared to stock, tie a piece of string around the pulleys the way the belt goes and take that to your parts store. They'll be able to to measure that and get you the right size of belt. I did that when I put in my saginaw and they gave me two sizes of belt that were super-close to the size of the string I brought in. One worked perfectly and I took the other back for a refund.

Belts don't change w/ removal of smog equipment. Just get the stock belts from CarQuest/NAPA.

x2 I just went through this with my rig. Get the pulley from Jim C and run the stock belts as before. I think the smog pump also runs something else at the same time and taking it out and running a smaller belt may turn out to be a costly mistake. I think its the water pump? If I'm wrong I'm sure others with more knowledge and experience will chime in.
Good luck
PS if time is severely limited I'm not sure what you should do for such a long trip. Maybe gut the smog pump until a pulley comes in the mail?

Thanks to all! Napa belts as recommended by Jim worked great! Looks like pump was gutted by PO.

Not really sure that the fan clutch needed replacing but its got a different one on now. Not having done the belts before I thought maybe the rig would use different belts as I new the ones on it were not stock.

Hopefully, I'll have some pics of Ruby posted before too long.
