Yes, a later model ("3rd generation") alternator off of just about any Ford up to roughly the early to mid-90's
No, you won't need your old voltage regulator because just about all modern alts have an internal regulator instead. No more need for the one on the fender/firewall.
And no, the original wiring won't work. You can keep most of it, and while you will still be able to use a voltmeter, you will no longer have use of your original ammeter. The new alternator (from 95 to 130 amp ratings) is too powerful for the stock charge wire, so you bypass it with a new wire (8ga to 4ga) straight from the alternator's output terminal to the battery's positive terminal (or the starter relay/solenoid post) instead.
It's pretty easy and straightforward. There are quite a few writeups hereabouts with both donor vehicle applications for new or used purchases.
There are small and large case versions, and either can be made to work with your stock brackets. There are some oddball mount configurations too (of course!) but those are easily avoided.
Good luck.
