Those are the big Leece-Neville alternators too ! :D Must be running a big power invertor or something.

I'd like to know where I could get more info on those brackets.

Why does it need all of them? What is done with the truck?

More than likely there is a huge sound system in that truck. I have seen picks of those setups in car audio magazines. They also have several batterys.

that almost seems like a little bit of overkill...

The voltage gage probably doesnt even budge under load . bracketry for a second alterantor would be interesting to look at

Yes you are correct! Those are Leece-Nevilles used to run hi-watt RF amplifiers not audio amps. It's in a Suburban and used for amateur radio. Here are more pics at this link:click here (http://www.cbrelectronics.com/altwork.html)
The alternator brackets are available HERE (http://www.cbrelectronics.com/davemade.html)
