If the number starts with a six it is six volt, otherwise it will start with twelve and it would be twelve volt. If it is an all transistor radio, it will be twelve volt, 1951 GMC 1 Ton Flatbed -- It is finally on the road and what a great time I have driving it! 1951 1 Ton Completed My Chevy Master 4 Door is on the Road!
