Most pulleys over the years were made by the same company in the USA. Some were different in Canada, but most pulleys were mounted on the engine before shipping. I've looked at a lot of pulleys over the years as most have, the few that I can remember not being painted were the crank pulleys ( not always either)
Any chance the original owner stripped them before painting them?

There were several pulley suppliers in the US.
And the pulleys were not mounted to the engine when shipped. See http://www.camaros.org/assemblyprocess.shtml#engine for pictures. The pulleys are listed on the chassis broadcast sheet for installation by Chevrolet.

Lot to digest here.
Thanks

Interesting read. I was not aware of that. The pulley suppliers... When I was looking for pulleys I became aware of the insignia stamped on a high percentage of them.
Canadian built cars had local (Oshawa) pulley manufactures from what I have seen.
