Per the rockauto.com database (which may be wrong), the 5.7 for 1979 uses V-Belts, not a serpentine belt. That type is typically adjusted by a moveable accessory such as the alternator or power steering pump.

This video shows how to install the power steering belt:

Cool old truck.  They are getting very desirable.  

Probably time to invest in a Haynes or Chilton manual.
