Swapping Toy Alterntor with GM Alternator

[ToyRochon]

I heard from the wheeling world that us toyota guys can swap out or whimpy alternators. I got an 1980 20r and was wondering what year and what will need to be done to make it work. I want the most amp I can get. So please let me know what I can do and where to get what I need. Thanks David

Theres two replys. Thanks guys, but those arnt what I was looking, but they are for different trucks and years. I've looked all over the place. Does swap actually work? Anyone out there know.

Basically anything in the SI case style you can make work. Go to Summit Racing and shop around. Usually you can get about 100 amp alt for like $80 or so if you dont get something super bling. Should be a V belt and the same basic mounting system. Just some washers (or tube) for spacers, and the wiring.
