Help with Charging system

1980-1983 Toy is not charging. The wires that go to the alt are all there but I thought my old truck had some sort of rectifier or regulator that plugged into the firewall. There is a big plug that has nothing going to it at the time, white in color. Should the missing part go there? What is it called?

I figured that the power went out of the alt into this part then to the Batt. Is this correct?

Thanks for the help
Bill

Should have a regulator that is mounted on the drivers side fenderwell. If you are missing this or if its broken you got problems. Go buy a manual from a parts store it will walk you thru diagnosing the charging system. You might want to pick up a multimeter tool to double check everything.
