1957-1959 Alternator Conversion Harness (External Regulator Altenator) - GM Truck Converts Generator to B.I.R. Style The Importance of the Alternator Alternators do more than simply recharge a car’s battery. Your GM Truck battery will only provide enough power to operate the starter when starting it. While your truck is running, there are pulleys within the engine that rotates a belt connected to the alternator. This rotation causes coils inside of the alternator to generate power to replenish the battery. This battery charge then allows for the vehicle to operate including all the accessories and lights while in operation, plus provide enough charge for the next startup.
