Roundback vs. Squareback alternators?
I upgraded my square back to 80A in 2014 for $82.01 shipped.
Still works great.
I also ran a #8AWG charge wire direct from the alternator, bypassing the firewall bulkhead and amp gauge to the positive battery post on the starter relay.
Not the complete Mad Electrical bypass, just an added a direct charge wire.
I use a digital volt meter plugged into the lighter socket. It has dual USB charge ports too.

My typical voltage when running is ~14.4VDC
Your mileage may vary...
Price for the alternator upgrade kit is now $104.95
HO7005R Chrysler Square Back Alternator 80A Upgrade/Repair Kit
Not sure how cost effective today compared to other options but it has worked out well for me.
