shortnose_rat New Guy S Joined: May 2014 Posts: 16 Saskatoon SK. Canada	I would like to convert my truck to 12volts if I can get it running, but I don't have a 6volt battery to get it running with. Can I start it and run it for a short while on 12volts? or do I need to buy a 6volt battery? 1942 Canadian 1.5t Chevy COE
