We have always used Ohio Generator alternators at the shop where I used to work. I have one of their 200 amp units on my 98 k3500 and it has been on there for over six years and 200K miles.

i would just have your uncle build you one. that would be the cheapest way to go IMO but he would have to probably use the 145amp alt. housing to build it to 200amp or more....

edit: the shop here says $1 per amp ($200 for 200amp etc.) which i think would be cheaper than many QUALITY aftermarket alt. at the same amp rating.
