Wanting to upgrade by adding aftermarket heater and AC, also wanting a modern stereo, under bed fuel tank. Truck appears to have a generator(completely stock).Is it 6volt in 64? To convert to 12, what all will need to be changed? Would like to keep original gage configuration but what happens there when I go to 12v? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,233 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 6,233 | Welcome to the Stovebolt  Your 1964 truck is 100% 12v since new. The last 6v Chevrolet truck was the 1955 1st series. Mike B

Pete I believe you are right. He said generator. He will probably want upgrade it to 65 amps or more if he is going to run A/C.
