Thanks for the response guys.
The negative terminal of the battery is connected to the transmission by a 3/8 OD wire. There is no electrical connection from the trans, bellhousing, or engine to the frame. The positive terminal is connected to the starter by a 7/16 OD
wire. I want to restore this truck to original condition.
My concern is what changes, if any, may be necessary to the electrical sytem to change the battery polarity. Generator polarity ? Coil and gauges as Squeeze mentioned.
I will change to the larger 00 gauge wire and ground the frame. Thanks Kook. I'm not finding much information out there on this vintage GMC.
Thank you for your help. smile
