Upgraded alternator

I recently purchased a '77 F250 and I want a higher amp alternator. Are there any direct bolt ups that I can get from say a Lincoln or something?

Welcome to FTE. Please search the forum for "3G alternator". Better yet, please refer to the first three links in the tech info sticky: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...mpilation.html

If you want new summit also sells upgraded alternators. I believe jeff's bronco graveyard, lmc, dennis carpenter, and NPD also all carry other options. The 3g is a common swap, basically involves using a junkyard or rebuilt alternator off a newer ford vehicle and splicing the pigtail, which most people get from a junkyard.
