The Gener-Natorhttp://www.gener-nator.com which is an alternator built into the customers original generator case for around $1000+ is the most expensive option for wide belt cars but looks very stock for those who are wanting that detail.

The PowerGenhttp://www.qualitypowerauto.com/item_543/6-Volt-GM-Positive-Ground.htm which looks like a 50-60s generator is available from several places and must be the one you are thinking of. The price is about right to what you mentioned but the widest stock pulley on those I have seen available is 5/8 or 3/4". If that is the one you mentioned do you know of a place that sells it with a wide pulley?

When I last checked only Antique Auto Battery had a wide pulley. They specially machined one for Mike (Su8overdrive) using his original generator pulley for a pattern when he bought his alternator and then made it available to others. AFAIK it is sold only with their modern looking alternator. Just wonder if that has changed.
