I have an un-opened 12 volt wiring harness kit for my 1949 3600 which I would like to trade someone for a new 6-volt harness for the same truck. I have decided to keep the truck 6-volt and do not need the 12-volt wires.

IF anyone is interested in trading, or can simply point me to a vendor who would sell a 6-volt harness, I would appreciate a note.

Thanks,
Spencer

Are you making the distinction between a 6 volt harness and a 12 volt harness strictly the wire gauge?

Maybe? I really do not know what the difference is? I just have decided that I am not going to use the 12 volt harnes I have. It has much more than what I need.

the difference would be any 'extra' circuits in it, like for alternator and accessories - what you want is an original style harness - no extra circuits and designed for a 6V system [which uses some wires heavier gauge than 12V], and a generator - just need to get that from any supplier, and list your '12V' harness in the swap section, saying what extra circuits it has

Usually, the difference between a 12v and a 6v harness is the gauge of the wire.

6v uses heavier gauged wires (ie, where you use 18awg on 12v, you'd use 16awg on 6v). Either gauge of harness may have hookups for various other things like blinkers, horn relays and whatnot.
