Will just about any alternator from the late 60s swap into a 1997 Chevy 1500? Yup. the problem with ford is that they have parts that were changed mid year, sometimes three or for times a year and nothing is compatible except that exact part. Time is everything in the apocolypse. And to answer the "why would you need a car in the apocolypse?" question- to run, for defense, for basic travel, just as you need one now! If you have a truck and most people don't, then you are at an advantage. Understanding how to keep yours running is even more of an advantage.</blockquote>
