Geez, what a deal!! I write the above post and go to make a run in my '48 after sitting for 6 hours. Doesn't start and the battery goes down trying!!!! I should have kept my mouth shut.
12 volt seems like a mighty fine idea.
(I drive only three miles to work so I think there hasn't been enough charging time in the cold, cold weather. I think we'll look for a place out of town.)
1948 3/4-Ton 5-Window Flatbed Chevrolet 34 Years. Now with a '61 261, 848 head, Rochester Monojet carb, SM420 4-speed, 4.10 rear, dual reservoir MC, Bendix up front, 235/85R16 tires, 12-volt w/alternator, electric wipers and a modern radio in the glove box.
