generator to alternator conversion wiring

I'm in the process of replacing the I6 with a 302 in a '52 F1. Without re-wiring the entire truck, is there a simple way to convert from the generator to an alternator?? Any good wiring diagrams out there for this??

btw, its already converted to 12V.

thanks in advance
