About 3 weeks ago, I pulled my '53 Chevy 3100 into the garage. I had to jump it to get it started, but it ran fine once it was going, and started up well afterward. Today, I tried to start it again. Nothing...battery was dead as a doornail. I have a battery charger that gives 40 amps at 6V for a start, so I decided to try that. I got nothing but a very loud electrical buzz when I tried to start the truck. NO movement out of the starter at all. I checked the engine, and it spins freely, so there's no trouble there.
Anyone have any idea what might be wrong? Bad starter? At the moment, the truck has the original 6V system, which will soon be changed to 12V. I just don't know if anyone has ever seen anything like this before.
Thanks...
