So, my first of many question to the pros on this forum, what model truck is this and is ther any thing specific I need to be aware of when ordering parts?
Please post photos, possible.
GMC trucks were not sold by year, so there was not really a 55-1st and 55-2nd GMC. The 1954/55 New Design body style GMC was a Z series truck (the Z is on the cab ID plate - driver's door frame, between the hinges); the 1955 Blue Chip GMC truck was a "Y" series truck.

The 2-nd series 1955 Chevrolet Task Force trucks had 12v negative ground electrical systems.
See page 20 - a 16 plate 100 amp-hour battery was a 6v battery)
