12 volt converstion

[tstclr]

If you just want to get rid of the generator and mechanical regulator, you may want to try going with a 6 volt alternator. I did this with a 54 Chevy and it worked great. It was a one wire Delco and I love it. It charges at a lower RPM, and is internally regulated. This saves the hassle of changing bulbs, adding voltage reducers for your guages, radio and blower motor etc. If you want a 12 volt radio, there are step up converters on Ebay for $54.

Chester,
You might want to use the "search" link that is up in the top right corner of
this page....as there are many threads over the past 2 years that talk about
this process. When you click on "search" a new screen will come up, then type
in "12 volt conversion" in the "search for" space....use the drop down arrow in
the "search forum" to limit the search to the "technical forum" and then search.
I am sure someone with a truck conversion for that year will give you more specific's.

Hope this gets you started......
