...ok, I need a new Ignition Switch...

That's a nice looking truck! Love that color, do you happen to know what it is? Reminds me of the blue on a '79 C10 my buddy bought new.

2188 medium blue.
Guy that sold it to me 30 years ago said his daughter picked out the color it was originally an OD green bell telephone work truck.

The alternator was bad, Napa tested it so I'm glad I bought a new one wire alternator after all.
Think I want to install this gauge in the dash, it matches the rest of my gages.

ETA: I did install an internally regulated alternator, dang thing was working.

Glad to hear that you decided to go the internally regulated alternator route. I wanted to keep me 68 original but I had so many issues with the replacement external voltage regulators. Seems like I was having to replace them at least once a year or so.
