I've been a long time lurker on the site and I was finally able to purchase my first restoration project today. It's a 71 Cheyenne Super with a 350/350 combo. The previous owner did some work on the motor and added some taller valve covers so he removed the A/C compressor. I have the original compressor sitting in the bed of the truck so my first order of business will be modifying the bracket and getting the A/C up and running if the compressor is still good.
I drove the truck home about 20 miles and it seemed to run pretty well. I suspect the alternator is bad because the battery was dead when I went to restart the truck when I got it home. Anyone have any suggestions on getting a replacement alternator?
