The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts generator and bracket interchangeability

I need these parts for my 1953 GMC 450. It has the 302 engine and a air compressor on the right side, so the generator would be on the left side of the engine. I'm hoping to find out what other engines/trucks shared these same parts.

These parts were removed before I bought the truck.

Thanks

An additional concern is the return spring on the throttle linkage. It looks like it may have been attached to the generator bracket. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I have a 1952 450 with 302. The generator bracket was the same as my 48. The 48 was 6 volt I just mounted an old Buick 12 volt generator to it and added a 12 volt Regulator. The reason for using an old Buick generator is that it has a bearing in each end.

Are you staying 6 volt or converting to 12 volts???

Same bracket. IF 12 volt there are 2 different 12 volt generators available. A long and a short bolt type, both will mount on the same bracket. Get one with bearings in both ends, which can be hard to find.

You might want to consider a 12 volt Alternator.

Bracket are available at many auto part stores.

My throttle spring was also attached to the generator bracket.

I got a throttle return spring bracket from Jim Carter...#MEE295 and spring #ME459

Good Luck
