I'm gonna start working on getting the old 46's running so I can get them on a trailer and get them home grin. First thing's first though... Are they positive or negative ground?

GMC or Chevrolet?

From a previous post, it looks like you have a Chevrolet: 6v negative ground

Hy Dieseldude03, please remember to tell us if you're asking about Chev or GMC trucks, and what size of truck. This kind of info will make a difference in your answers.

This is an older GM truck than I have had experience with but to the best of my knowledge only the Jimmy's had positive ground. The battery cables may hold a clue on the terminal size and location.
