Logan,

Is there a oval metal ID tag on the generator and/or starter?
If yes, what are the codes?

If you have a GMC with the original wiring/electrical system, it would be a positive ground system. The major difference is that the negative lead would go to the starter and then to the ammeter/dash-gauge. The positive lead from the battery would go to the frame.

Did your truck have a battery in it when you got it?
If yes:
- was it 12v or 6v battery
- how was it "cabled" (where did pos/neg cables/strap from the battery attach)?
