    I purchased the alternator conversion kit for my '66 stepside and I was wondering what year model(s) alternator to get with the interal regulator to plug the kit into. Oh, I have the 6 cyl./250 engine if that makes a difference.

    Thanks.

    I converted my 65 half ton to internal regulator using a alternator from a 78 Chevrolet pickup. Depending upon the amperage you want you can use any internal regulated alternator before 1985 as long as it fits your brackets. I believe they are all the same bolt pattern but I am not for sure. Also Summit racing and Jegs cary high output alternators, as well as chrome and powdercoated alternators that work well.
