You need to completely rewire the truck and change some of the components. Or you could just learn to deal with the positive ground system. Your choice.


What do you have to "completely" rewire (on a 1946 GMC)?
The battery leads, the coil leads, the ammeter leads, and the ?

Wouldn't the major cost be the cost of a few components, not the wiring/re-wiring?

Nonetheless, why switch from 6v positive ground to 6v negative ground?

My point is that if you want to ensure you don't have future problems, you're best off to start back from scratch and make sure everything is negative grounded, and negative ground compatible. It seems a lot less work and headache just to deal with the positive ground.
