I'm new to the old truck bug, but I've been bitten hard. My question is this. What's the difference between a regulator and an alternator? Which is better and why? I recently bought a '55 235 for my '49 3600 and I think someone said these were 12 volt, but I'm not sure. I want to deep the truck stock appearing, but I would like some modern upgrades (i.e. wipers, radio, etc.) which route should I take for this? Thanks for any help.


If you think you can't, you're right. If you think you can, you're right.
