Why did chevrolet make a 1953 3800 pickup in both positive and negative ground versions, and how do I determine which mine is. It did not have a battery in it when i bought it.

Chevrolets are negative ground. The positive ground trucks were the GMCs. As to why they did it, I really don't know ohwell

I've heard that the positive ground setup gave a hotter spark, but I'm not sure if that is true.
