What size alternator do I have ?

I have to go down to the local store tomorrow to get some new builts for my 302 (1980 vintage F-150). It has the AC and the power steering. I have the original belt from the crank pulley to the power steering pump, but the one for the crank to the alternator is gone. How do I tell the size alternator that I have? THe build sheet with the truck lists the code as 6U, could this be 60 AMP?
