I have a 1958 Chevy Apache and I want to convert it from the exsisting generator to an alternator system. What do I need to do to fix that problem?

I agree with dodge man. A one wire alternator will be the easiest way to convert it. I use it on sll of our farm truck and tractor's never had any problems. They are easy to install. All they require is a 12 to 10 gauge wire to the positve teminal.

The proper conversion kit will solve any unexpected problems. Don't attempt this yourself without the kit and the special wiring diagram.
Any independant alternator-starter shop in your area can do this for you if you get into a jam.

you can purchase a one wire alternator for it but you,ll be better off letting a good repair shop do this for you,its not easy if your not real familiar with electrical work,you can burn the truck up from doing this,if its not done right,good luck on it.

PLEASE PLEASE Don't do this, you have a classic vehicle there and if you change it (modernize it) it will lose over half of its classic value, Plus if you don't do it right, it will burn up and then all you will have is a hunk of iron
