yeah these rigs are very universally used.as new owners get them,they have a need to set them up in a vast variety of lengths for different style beds,bucket trucks,crane arms,lift gates,welding setup rigs,utility type beds,dump beds,etc.etc.so they're really modded to any means needed.
you should be able to grab a used 3g alt at a salvage yard for cheap.the things are long lasting.i got a reman at autozone with lifetime warranty,but a used could last you for years and years too.as for the exhaust,just run some pipe and a muffler if you don't have one there.nothing special required.just some pipe,hangers,muffler,perhaps a tail pipe if you want to shoot it out from under the bed.pretty universal.don't try and buy an expensive kit or anything.no need for that.

I was thinking just a piece of straight pipe from turbo y pipe and then a cheap muffler. Odd thing is even with no muffler its pretty quiet. As for the alt, at idle I have 13 volts at the battery and when I was probing the alt with it running I could feel the bearing in it.

yeah but can you still hear anything Tom? 
i put one of those walker/dynomax big truck mufflers on chip truck now.it toned it down a lot from that directly straight through one i had on there.it's a lot longer and larger around too.really helped,but now iv got a lot turbo whistle.i don't mind that so much i suppose.the big deep rumble when hauling on the hills really got to me.
