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,

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. | | |
