I was under the impression the truck was still running on a 6-volt system, but after cleaning the engine compartment out I noticed stamped on my generator plain as day, 12V. So I'm trying to determine if the voltage reg, is also a 12v or do i need to replace.

If it reads about 12 volts you have a 12 volt system. Start the truck engine & rev the engine a little above idle. The voltage should go to about 14.0 volts on a 12 v. system or about 7.2 on a 6 volt system. If this happens your system is working & you know which one you have.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

A 12-volt regulator could be set down to 9-10 volts, I'm not sure how low that will go, but that level will severely over-charge a 6-volt battery.
