Hy Streamylc, yes your truck was twelve volts when it left the factory, here in Canada Chevy trucks were twelve volt starting with the 55 "B" or second series.
I'm SOOOO glad to hear this *pffew*
I was afraid a previous owner did a "backyard job" on all the wiring to make it 12v. Since I took it out before I determined which it was, I was afraid I was in for QUITE the job re-wiring ;-P
