Is this a factory alternator?

[Dylandeuceman95]

Hello guys, quick question. Realized the truck hasn’t been charging today after investigating with the voltmeter it seems as if my alternator isn’t putting anything out. Now my question is if this alternator looks to be factory or not. It does not look like it to me, but I wanted others opinions that know these trucks more than I do. My hope is to take it off and send it to be rebuilt.

That looks like a 24v delco or clone
Not oe
More pics might help id.
If it is what I think, you should not need to rebuild as they should be readily available.

Absolutely not original equipment.

Gotchya, I thought not. Ordered a Delco style one I will retro fit

Actually since it is a Delco style you should be able to order one like and it will bolt right on. I've replaced 3 originals with Delco clones on my trucks in the past. The hardest part is finding a new adjustment bracket and you already have that.

While I like keeping my truck "original" (what does that even mean? The military itself made untold changes over its service life!) a modern gear reduction starter and a modern alternator are really not distracting or unnecessary luxury items on a Deuce that you want to drive. Technology has gotten better (not many people use specially downgraded lubricants so that they are as bad as they were in the 1960') and ease of maintenance is a factor as well.
Placing an original alternator (not even generator) beside an AC Delco 24 illustrates why there is now all of a sudden some SPACE in that corner of the engine compartment!
