And will the 6 volt starter still work on a 12 volt system??? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | if you have an auto electric shop in reach they could get the generator [and regulator, different than the 6V one], or many of the vintage parts suppliers found in the links section here will have them .... and yes, the 6V starter will work fine, as long as you don't grind it for extended periods, like moving the truck around  Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | I bought a 12 volt generator from I think a 55 Chev sedan and it has the same dimensions as the 6 volt. I also have a later 12 volt which is much longer. My point is there is a 12 volt which will fit. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | They come in two versions long and short styles. The front bracket will interchange but you may need the correct bottom bracket to make it work. As I remember there is about a 2" difference in their length. I believe Chevs of the 40's carries the correct brackets. They bolt to the block the same. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 27 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2012 Posts: 27 | Thanks guys for the info found a guy local that's going to swap in internals to 12 volts | | |
