I moved the other post with questions to the General Truck forums. Not everyone visits here as the welcome centre is to welcome you and get to know a little about you. Ask questions in the most appropriate garage forums and the guys are more than willing to help. Good luck and see you around the garage. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,442 | Welcome to the Stovebolt madness. There is no cure.

There are some out there that are not 1946 models, but they are often flat OD colored. They are neat time machines. Enjoy! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 112 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2018 Posts: 112 | Welcome! Nice choice. Well done!
DO keep us posted on its/your progress!

Clean up all your battery connections real good and make sure the cables are heavy enough. Those items are key to a 6 volt system working well. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 9,830 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 9,830 | That one looks like it might work, although looks like old tech, and pretty heavy duty (careful you don't boil the battery dry). I picked one up either at Wally World or Amazon that was a smaller 6/12V combo, 12A capacity with automatic detection and charging. Works fairly well if you're not in a hurry. It will charge and maintain. Schumacher SC-1200A-CA is the model #.
