Special thanks to George for sending me the fitting and gasket. Truck fired up and ran after some timing adjustments. Crazy thing is I don't have a battery so we hooked jumper cables to the cables and it cranked but no headlights/taillights/dash lights would come on. My dad has an old 24v charger and we hooked it up and the flashlights and tail lights came on but truck wouldn't turn over.

So I'm thinking just off the common sense side of my brain that the charger was supplyin enough volts through a bad alternator or voltage regulator that the truck actually got 12-14v for everything to work but not enough amps to turn the truck over.

As for the jumper cables they were supplying enough amps to turn the truck over but not enough volts as it was only supplying 12-14v to begin with and after traveling through bad alt/voltage reg the voltage was too low to operate lights. Again I don't know but hoping to try and slap a battery in it this week to see what results I get. Any suggestions would help guys.
