My alternator is shot and my first instinct was to rebuild it with some new brushes and voltage regulator. Someone then told me the brushes and VR were more expensive than a reman OEM alt. I looked on the 80 board and a bunch of those guys were doing it. Who has dealt with bad alt's on a 62 and what's the best solution for a guy who's decently handy. Do I need both the brushes and VR? pointers? sources? Thanks!

x2 on finding a good local shop to rebuild it. I got mine rebuilt by a local shop over 10 years ago and it still works fine.
Carquest $129, lifetime warranty. Done in 07.
The PO said the alternator went out at 150000 miles on my truck, he had it rebuilt. 5 years after I bought the truck the alternator went out again, turned out to be a bad regulator, had a local shop replace it for $60.
