If it's the former forget about a 12 volt generator! An alternator does better job keeping the battery charged, provides more power for lights, etc. and will last longer/require less maintenance. It’ll also be cheaper than a generator.
Tip: Use a 3-wire rather than a single wire alternator. A 3-wire requires a few more feet of wiring plus a warning light or diode. But it will be cheaper and it will avoid the annoying issues single-wire alternators frequently seem to suffer from.

If you elect to stick with a generator most any Delco generator from a tractor or GM car from the late ‘50’s/early 60’s will work (IHC, Deere, Case, MM, Oliver, etc). You might need to reuse the fan/pulley assembly from your 6 volt generator however. Make sure you get the matching regulator too – otherwise the smoke may be let out of the generator!
