No need for apologies, just tell everybody what truck you are working on each time so it is easier to help you out. Also, a '1956 235' helps the description; but that would be assuming nothing had ever been done to it modification-wise.

Is the generator secured? Bolted down at two points on the base (front/rear)? You can use a stack of washers as spacers on a long bolt to secure that tab at the rear of the generator.
