I found the how to do it in the tech tips, and I've found a lot of threads of people chasing down all the related upgrades they find it requires, but I'm not really seeing anything on the why?
The obvious is that we live in a 12v automotive world, so making the change will result in an easier time finding batteries and such, but on a day to day use is there an actual noticeable difference between driving a 6 volt and 12 volt truck?
The advantages to availability of some parts seems like it might be offset by not having the ability to use stock equipment, making every future replacement require checking compatibility from a later 12v vehicle parts.
Would really like to hear from those who have done it, or have actively decided against doing it. I am particularly interested in hearing from those those who are maintaining a mostly stock truck appearance.
If I were to do it, it makes sense to me to get in and do it while I'm bringing the truck back to life, not get it running then tear it apart again.
