Ordered a Delco 10si Alternator today for $140 at Napa, should arrive by noon tomorrow. Now I need to inventory my wire and see if I have fuse large enough. Thanks for the advice.
This is an old thread, but can anyone help confirm. Am I really seeing these Delco 24 volt alternators for about $80?
My M37 generator is bad and fried my regulator. I am liking the cost of the Delco 10si single wire over a new generator and regulator.
Advice, thoughts?
I used a 2x4x4 piece of ash wood, took about 15 minutes. I was guessing on wood size to avoid too little progress vs collapsing a section, the 4" wide piece of hardwood did the trick.
Picks attached, the canvas is new and still stretching.
Got the truck re assembled and running. Gave her a quick wash this morning. The kids mine any my neighbors love riding in the back.
I have a parasitic draw isolated to the generator or regulator. Gonna need some help with electrical, it's not intended wheel house. I've been looking for...
I was afraid of that, you think a block of wood and a mini sledge will do the trick? I didnt want to try something unfounded and cause a bigger problem.
Thanks, your feedback is helpful.

I am installing new canvas on my cab and the groove at the top of my windshield is too large to retain the bead on my new canvas. The bead looks to be the same as the canvas I removed.
Note, this is a replacement windshield not the original.
See attached pictures, groove appears to be 1/2...
Thank You all, the bolt holes line up with the frame holes by the fuel pump. I see why no one puts them back on after service. I'll probably keep it in my parts rack and not reinstall.
One more part I need help identifying, by the way I was able to get it running after it sat for many years. Took it to the neighbors house for a few beers.
See attached pic of the part I need identified and the truck at my neighbors house.
Thanks for the help.. It Figures thats where it goes, I'm working my way to the drivers side as a finish up spot. So far everything has been straight forward.
After 7 years and 2 additions to my family, I have finally got around to reassembling my truck. I have this Part (pics attached) and for the lift of me can't identify it.
I am submitting myself to the brutality of the internet, fire away.
She is really dusty, but all the body parts have...
Got a box of goodies from John at Midwest. The welt looks like good quality and the new bed bolts are 5 1/2 inches long which should fit perfect.

No need to remove them, the bolts he shipped me are 7" long and they hit the top of the tie down shackle bracket. I believe 6" will work but there isn't enough thread for me to cut Johns bolts down.

Perfect picture of the bolts, I'll fwd to John at Midwest Military, his bolts are an inch too long. Based on your welt picture I may just order the M923 hard top welting, I can cut the bead off one side and it would be darn close in appearance but be full rubber.

I remember the solid rubber with bead, it was like the M923 hard top welting strips. I have some vinyl wrapped foam but it is about 1/4 thick and would compress when installed.

I remember a weather strip between the outside removable wheel wells and the bed side panels. Did you guys put one back in when you rebuilt your beds? I'm curious if it would hold water and cause problems or if rubbing from vibration would cause more harm.

That is a perfect shot, John at Midwest is measuring, he thinks he shipped me the wrong length bolt. It's 7" and I think it should be about 5 or 5 1/2. Based on the size of the rear crossmember and the fact that it sits on the frame without a standoff.

Trying to figure this out, The rear cross member bolts I bought from Mid West Military seem to be too long. See attached picture, I've circled area's in yellow. The bolt is hitting the tie down shackle and is not able to seat down against the top of the rear cross member.
