Well the '46 has come a long way since I first asked the question.. I was pretty much fishing around to figure out what to put on my "to do" list.

In my experiences so far, I have to say that I really don't have a problem with the 6V system, so long as you've got a good solid FAT ground. 12V systems are far more forgiving to weaker grounds.

Every day I get something new running on this truck, i'm more and more convinced I outta put her back together as close to she was when she was new.. so I guess i'm going to stick with the 6V system, since the biggest argument for going to 12V seems to be faster cranking when it's reall cold out.

Hey, if it's -25 outside.. you won't catch me toolin' around in that truck!


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
