That took about five clicks in the Googles to get:

http://www.autoanything.com/Parts/PartsProduct.aspx?CategoryID=3793&kc=FFPMM&TemplatePageID=201&SiloName=alternators-starters-74-963-1984

I'm sure our vendors have/can get as well.

Google is your friend and that's cheaper than I can send you a free alternator for. Even cheaper is to go to NAPA and order new brushes. Less than $6.00 IIRC. They'll have 'em for you tomorrow. Ten minutes with a soldering gun. Nine times outta ten all that's wrong is worn out brushes. The bloody alternator is nearly thirty years old, ya know?
