So I just finished installing an old Delco alternator from an old Cadillac. It charges so that was great. I used some old brackets and welded up a mounting bracket for the alternator. I created the top bar from some old conduit with some fancy offset bends. Works great. Have it all wired up. Check here for great wiring instructions:

I added lights and a switch so we are ready to deal with it getting dark around 5:30/6pm. Thanks to Jason and my mother-in-law for the Christmas gifts, some fancy lights from Just8ns and Amazon. I used the ones from Just8ns for the fronts even though I think they are the rear lamps. The other was a generic 12v worklamp so I mounted that in the back. Still need to sort out a ground issue on that lamp.
Also, dad had an Ammeter in a box so I have a nice illuminated Ammeter in the dash. I will try to upload pics soon of all the new additions.
