I lost the alternater on my 68 1600 some years ago on a trip from Los Angeles
to Sacramento ~ about 440 miles, 7 hr trip.
I was able to drive on just the battery from L.A. to Tulare, about 300 miles.
I then stopped at a gas station, had them recharge the battey for 3 hrs and
completed my trip.

If the battery is really accepting and holding a charge, the truck should run
a lot longer than that on the battery without a charging system. Start the
truck, and briefly disconnect the negative battery cable' just a few seconds.
Truck dies instantly, charging system is not putting anything out. Then
disconnect the battery, and connect the cables to another car (disconnect the
negative on this car first) or known good battery using booster cables. Do
not start the donor car. Start the truck and see if it runs. If it runs and
stays running, battery is toast, and must be replaced before you can rule out
having a charging system problem too.
Good luck
