I have just picked up a 1952 GMC 9300 (Canadian truck) and I had a few questions.
Is the ground terminal positively charged? I put a new 6v battery in and it turns over and has little spark at the points and plugs but wont fire up, I have the ground strap currently hooked to the negative post.
Is there a wiper motor upgrade kit for the 6v system? Or how easy is it to convert this truck to 12v and could you walk me through it?
Thanks
Joe

Do you know what engine is in the truck?
Please go to the welcome forum and introduce yourself and put in a few pictures.
Another quality post.
