Dodge's full-size truck entry received a facelift in 1980. Mechanically, nothing was broken so nothing needed fixing. Features like the independent front suspension and a litany of engine options stuck around.

Holley’s mid-mount complete accessory system has all accessories pulled in tighter than other accessory drives. Among the many swap friendly features is the “bracketless” assembly that actually mounts all accessories directly to the timing cover / bracket casting. This drive system solves alternator clearance issues, and power steering pressure problems that are common with the factory accessory drive system.
