Putting in a new alternator and... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Trying to decide wiring for a new alternator. Current alternator, and I'm guessing voltage regulator are shown below. So here's my questions...

1) Is what I'm picturing in fact an external regulator?
2) I want to use a modern alternator with minimum extras. So do I still need this thing unless I want to change wiring significantly? What would I have to change? I want the generator light and everything to work correctly.
