You could always try BOW-WOW parts here in Vancouver - Tacoma is
only two hours driving distance away.  With your American dollar
things should be pretty reasonable depending on how the US border
handles it...

Just phoned them - The alternator for a 77 bus is $145.65 Cdn which 
is about $110 US.  The regulator is $30 Cdn on top of that.

BOW-WOW Parts of BC - 604-325-9970.
