76 C10 4.8l recommendations for Alternator, Starter and battery

[Funstuie]

Hey all,

I am going hulk on my electrical system in my truck - I'm giving up troubleshooting as I am sure the starter is knackered and the battery wont charge. If I am changing them out I might as well change the alternator.

So what do you guys recommend as long term replacements? I don't want to buy cheap crap or something that won't last.

These are what I am looking at now:

Starter - https://www.amazon.com/Powermaster-9...dp/B001GN0CM6/

Alternator - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000PDLXI0/

Is there a good cheaper bolt-on option?

Also, I need a good battery. Some research suggests this as a great battery - https://www.batterymart.com/p-Mega-C...YcQaAshF8P8HAQ

I don't have any experience with those parts, but when I did my swap, I replaced the starter and alternator with OEM AC Delco parts. Perfect fit and had zero problems in 3 years/13000 milles. In the past with my old motor, whenever I tried to use non OEM parts, it seems I always ran into parts that didn't fit right/had to be shimmed.

As for the battery, I went with a good Autozone battery. When I buy a battery my main concern is: if it fails what would be the easiest to swap out if it's under warranty? Around here there is an Autozone every 5 miles or so. If I went mail order I would have to ship it back and wait.
