Thanks to all you US friends. I will take all advice and be sure to let you know how I make out. And thanks fab 51, I will consider keeping the points also. I'll add also that I really wanted the truck to use and not as a show vehicle and wanted to keep it as stock as possible but make it easier to run and found the 6 volt system a pain. Especially if I run it this winter, and hey, this is Saskatchewan and it's cold up here. shouldn't complain tho, my farmer relatives ran them as farm trucks year round.
