Doing a little PM on the Centurion extra-cab and noticed the belts were flopping more than I expected, even after tightening them a bit. RockAuto has some pretty good deals right now on Gates, Dayco and Continental v-belts. I bought two sets of four belts (power steering, vacuum pump, alternator and a/c) for $71 with priority shipping. If you are willing to go to the economy belts, you could save even more, but I wanted to stay with the brands I know/trust, and by the way: made in the USA.
For $35, it's pretty cheap to put brand new belts on your old rig right now. I was going to keep the old ones as spares, but it was cheap enough to keep a brand new set behind the seat.
Just passing this on for anybody who's thinking about a spring tune up on their v-belt IDI.
