I've been toying around with swapping over to 12v on my 41 truck. I have a 12v generator and coil from a 54 truck that tests good. Instead of going through the expense or hastle of fabbing an alternator bracket and using an alternator that doesn't look factory I thought it might be a good idea to use the 12v generator. I have 12v regulators laying around so that shouldn't be an issue. I could probably just swap the regulator and leave the 6v generator. It would work. I have the good 12v though so...
I know I'll need new bulbs and a voltage reducer for my cab fans.
Any reason I wouldn't want to do this? I like the idea of the motor spinning over faster and other benefits of the 12v system.
