Did the 55 1st series originally come with a 6 volt or 12 volt system?

Kevin & Cindy,

1955-1st series Chevrolet trucks were 6v and 1955-2nd series Chevrolet trucks were 12v. I am not certain about GMC trucks.

Good day all,

My 55.1 has been converted to 12V, so if you are not worried about going stock it is possible to convert to 12V.

Later,
Chris
