Good to hear JT.... Me and Doghead had both of mine up and running within an hour or so of returning to his house. Glad we chose yestarday vs today for the pickup!
I wouldnt bother swapping out the auto hubs unless they give you trouble. I used to have them, and loved them. I didnt run into problems with them until I started plowing.... They dont like all the forward/reverse action. They unlock/relock every time you change direction.
Unless you do heavy off-roading, i wouldnt worry too much about the 'weak points' Chevy to this day still uses the 241 transfer case, even in the 1 tons (I believe).

Your fastest bet would be to find a local alternator/starter rebuild shop. They should have the parts in stock to fix it for you.
Second, you could have Mike @ ODIron overnight you one. You wont get it until tuesday though.
If you are in a MAJOR pinch, come on down, I have a brand new one I...
