The chances of finding a 130 in an f150 in the wrecking yard are slim to none. I don't remember which year the 3g began with, but my 94 & 95 both had them factory. Did you check parts online before you ordered the kit? You may not need it. Go to Oreilly or Autozone online and see if your truck had the 3g 130 as an option. If it did, you can compare mounting options. I got my 3g from a lincoln town car. 89 model I think. Lot's and lots of 130's out there. Mainly in cars with all electric accessories. I've nor seen one in an f150 of our gen.
Edit......just checked, no 3g until 94. You could use a bracket from a 94-96 4.9. Otherwise, you may have to do some grinding on the bracket to make it fit.

Yes, '94 and the bracket is different. I think they've been using Taurus alternators? So they don't have to change the bracket.

Do you think I'll be ok upgrading from a 90 amp to a 130 cuz mine is going out and needs to be replaced. Sorry to hijack op.

3g has an internal cooling fan. No external behind the pulley. Going from 90 to 130 will help if you have high current draw at times, ie. off road lighting, large stereo amps, cb amps, etc. Just gotta make sure the charging wire is sufficient. I also added a second heavy ground cable from the battery to the framr and eliminated a slight audio buzz I was getting.
