Wayne, it is in the link above which Seapotatoe posted. I just used the email address on the web site. It is the only pump they sell and use in their kits. I did not see any brand name on the pump.
My alternator is starting to fail. I think the brushes are sticking/weak as the alternator would jump from 13/14 volts then to 12 volts and some times the light would come on. Then it would jump back to 13/14 volts. Found a re-builder in abbotsford bc. Another re-builder in surrey but not to impressed with what she charged a customer of mine.
4 yo post, I bet wayne has it fixed now.
Regulator?
It helps if you put the model and engine type in your signature. My old brain forgets these things after a week or 3.
It is a 3b motor from a 60. BTW I am really intriqed in the idea of buying a npr alternator with pump and building a bracket for it and seeing if the pully can tranfer over.
Now one should have to suffer the pain of trying to locate a hard to find part. If NPR alternators with vacuum pump are common in most cities, then they should be the next best alternative to the difficult to find 3B alternator. I was priced locally $650.00 which to me, is insane. If I was broken down say, in washington state, then that 650.00 alternator is now 750 or more dollars if taxes and shipping is included. Does anyone have a example of a NPR alternator installed on there bj60? Do you know what the part number is?

Why don't you just pull out the brushes and take a look at their condition? It should only take a few minutes. If you have never replaced them then they are probably due.
I have replaced the brushes and voltage regulator on my alternator about ten years ago and all is good still.
If it is not the brushes you can get aftermarket voltage regulators if you don't want to pay for a Toyota one.
I have replaced the brushes in it in the past. Slip ring is warn so the alternator re-builder is going to replace that to. But I have decided, its time to find alternative supplier. I have been without a truck for two days now. will be picking up alternator that will cost me 350.00 as a rebuilt unit. To me, that is just a little to much. Who knows a owner who installed a NPR alternator on a 3b? Was it from a 5.7 diesel? what year? what part number. Its time to start looking for alternative parts for these engines and trucks as they are getting difficult to locate at times.
The NPR alternators are going for $175 USD on aussie ebay. Even with extortionate postage it would still be cheaper. Its an aftermarket alt most likely but I have always had good service from them.
But there are also universal alternators on ebay for diesels that might be easier to fit.
Ashdown Ingrams in Australia have a catalogue that shows all the important dimensions for alternators which you could compare with the 3B
