It might be a 1968 Dodge w200 pickup but the original engine and gearbox has long gone. :geek:

The engine has been replaced with a 1996 issh Daf lorry Cummins 6BT (5900cc) turbo-diesel. :working:

The same engine is found in loads of generator/boats / Dodge ram / Daf lorries etc etc etc

In the DAF the system is 24v and the original bracket and alternator is long gone. :roll:

What I have left is what I would call a standard car setup. The bottom of the alternator is fixed and the top swings over to tighten the belt on a slotted bar.

I managed to snap an ear of my Lucas LRA100 externally regulated 35 amp alternator and now need a new one.

The wiring loom for the truck is in the works and fully custom so can easily support any amp size.

I sort of feel that 35amp externally regulated alternator is not the way to go :lol:

I could make any alternator fit Any Advice ??

Just go with a common 65a type alternator, should be more than enough amps to cover your needs.
Easy enough for you to do simple hinge mount & turnbuckle/rod end type adjuster. Try to target common size belt from the likes of Halfords, always easy to get a spare should you ever need.

Sound advice from Mark, I adopted the same approach on the Challenger.
