12 volt conversion

Hollow fellow MVers,

I know that this has been covered before in other forums but I want to find a generator for my M38
to convert it to 12 volts. I want it to look very close to original outwardly but a small change in appearance
under the hood will not bother me.
I know that there are alternator kits available for the CJ2A & CJ3A but they are over kill at 80 to 100 amps.

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I believe you can use the same 6 volt generator as is on your CJ2A, but use a 12 volt regulator with it. I would bring the generator to an old school auto electric repair shop and have them help you match everything up.
