Hey Sean,
  Responded to the alternator thread in old_engine, but I suspect my
messages are getting lost there.
Heres a condensed version;  I'd suggest going with the orginal game
plan of retro-ing a 1 wire (or 3 wire, easily done, see the unFAQ) into
your truck.  The mounting methods you describe are virtually identical to
the GM units. As for wiring, use a 4 guage wire between the alternators
output (BAT) terminal and the battery side of your starter relay.
Alex.
