Goodyear Gatorback power steering and alternator belts

I am looking to replace both belts and want to see if anyone knows what the correct part # is for goodyear gatorback belts. When purchasing through amazon.com they show the part numbers as...

Alternator:
Goodyear 6 rib 4060435: effective length - 43.5 / outside length - 44.25

Power Steering:
Goodyear 4 rib 4040305: effective length - 30.5 / outside length - 31.25

Here is the list from goodyear.

Are these lengths the correct size?

call your local parts store and ask for the part #s is an option.

None of the local pepboys, advance auto, autozone, or napa carry the brand according to their online catalogs.

Power steering belt is the right one.
Alternator should be 43.1 but that 43.5 belt you have listed should work fine.

I was told by my guy at Autozone that Gatorbacks where no longer being made and you can't get them anymore. I can't remember the name of the brand he suggested that was similar. But I will say that he was cool enough to mention them and the fact that his company didn't sell it. Started with a D I think.

The part number has the measurements in it. For example, the # 4050315; the 50 indicates 5 ribs, while the 315 indicates 31.5 inches. If you know what length you need just plug in the numbers. AFAIK all belts follow this formula.
