No its 12 volts, but yes we are installing a regulator. Truck has not moved in 4 years, and when it did run. maybe 1000 miles a year. We also have a 1959 235 with a generator. Kinda like it stock. I do like the powermaster alternators that look like a generator, but literally have no accessories besides a radio. I ask for bolts as hardware store bolts definitely do not look like bolts from 1951. Plus I figure people have parts trucks. If I had pulled the alt I would have stuck the bolts back in the holes! Oh well. The truck and generator are at my dads house, have not been able to get over there. I am also fairly certain that the back is cast aluminum.
I really enjoy learning about these things, so I appreciate any comment. I know most of you know way more then I do. I mostly mess with Jeeps and have a 1967 Gladiator and a 1977 Cherokee, but just love old iron!
I will place a wanted ad when I have some good pictures!
Facebook just reminded me of this picture from 9 years ago! There is the 1951 and the 1959 soon after it was painted to a factory turquoise color! Also a picture of my dads 1969 Ford f250 next to my 1967 Gladiator. Cool stuff!
