I am restoring a 1955 1st Series Chevy truck and want to covert it from the 6v system to a 12v system and have question. I want to keep my truck looking original as much as possible and want to keep the push start peddle. I want to keep the 6v starter in for now as well. There is currently a Positive wire from the starter to the battery, a grounding strap from the starter to the frame, and a ground wire from the frame to the battery. Will this be a problem if i leave wired like this with a 12 volt system? I don’t want my system to catch fire. Here is picture of the starter
