Both of the parts stores list as a P-32. The "2" is for forward control.
They are both what is called a Y frame alternator.

I appreciate the help, but I'd rather just rebuild the one I have. Since I trust the shop(s) that would do it, I would know that it was done right.
Also, mine has a V-Belt and a turbine fan.
And I just did some research on the chassis. I came across a guy who claims to be a retired GM engineer. He says...
"I am retired GM Engineer, and we established the P32 chassis designation, in 1971, to seperate the Motor Home Chassis from the P30 Forward Control Chassis, which was currently in production. These chassis can not be used interchangeably, and we didn't want the Body Builders to try to do this. The MotorHome Chassis has certain equipment that is not available on the FC chassis: such as dash A/C,larger fuel tanks, and a tuned supension with very large stabilizer bars."
His moniker on the forums there is jakeofmi. He has a few more posts on this thread.
