Ok, I have not read this thread and I'm just popping in here but have you considered getting one of the 35 amp voltage converters from stonepicker?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I could be wrong but I thought he had plans to mount it. I don't believe he actually did the install yet. I'm sure with some modifictions you could mount 1 on. My setup was a straight bolt in. I honestly don't think 50 amps would cut it. But he is rewiring his truck anyways so I'm sure he will make it work. I paid $100.00 for my 200 amp alternator . I'm sure before it's all said and done there will be several ways to repower the electrics of these trucks.

How much 12v output is there stock?

edit: Noticed a few pages back stock 12V output is 85amps. Does anyone know if 50amps would be enough? Maybe swap a few items over to 24V to drop the 12V load (headlights/Tailights) LEDS? with Very Little Amp draw 12 or 24V.
This is correct ! It was the most feesable way of doing it at the time for me. For the most part wiring was very easy , and the parts are off the shelf units so nothing special. so if I broke down parts are a phone call away. the other advantage is 100 amps of both 12v and 24v which allows me upgrades in the future . also with the stock alternator pulling a trailer at night and if I dare turned the heater on the gauge would drop to 11 volts or less . now it shows a steady 14v .I agree of course about there being several was to skin this cat. It will come down to $ and how available parts are both for the conversion and to maintain or repair later (Like on the side of the road somewhere). I think you way you have it if I understand it correctly is: 200amps straight 24V Alternator combined with a 100 amp 24-12V Converter/Battery equalizer would be the best way to go IF the cost works out. That system should be the easiest to get and repair if ever needed. Also as you said it Bolts On. (Time to start shopping around)
Correct me if I am wrong on your setup..
