swithcing alternators
I used an alternator out of a 95 in my 87 just by removing the back cover from both and switching the regulator.(the part with the plug on it.) 2 minute job not including pulling it from the truck.
good luck!

regulator
the regulator is the part "IN" the alternator with the plug. that is the only difference on the alternators. yes you have an internal regulated alternator.
