SO YOU ARE FINALLY A TRUCK NUT!
Hey Scott!
So I see you finally must have found a truck? CONGRATS! Got any pics to send? As for the generator/alternator. Depends. Some early 55's were 6-volt systems. Do you have a 6 or 12-volt system? Definetly you want to go with the 12-volt and with the alternator system. There should be brackets out there. Mine bolts to the headers and then has an arm that bolts to the waterpump bolt and has a slot for the alternator bolt to adjust up an down on. Go to a bone yard and look at the 60' to 70's Impalas and mid size GM's. Don't pay too much - they are not gold. Ha Ha GM makes a single wire alternator (means built-in regulator) or a two-wire alternator - go with a single wire with no less than 80 amps output. GOOD LUCK - AND ENJOY THE FUN! rico_bob (aka:Richard in MI)
