I got tired of my wipers/blower slowing down,on my "85 c10.It came with a wimpy 37a alternator,and I couldn't afford the higher amp replacement.
Since I had taken some parts from my wife's '94 Grand Am,before we scrapped it,I decided to try to use it on the truck.
Fortunately,I had kept the connector,too.With a bit of rewiring,and a home built mount/adjuster,and a swap of pulleys,here'sthe result!
The lights are brighter,the wipers/blower motor don't slow down,and it'ssimple to do.
