Nice Truck
Gday Danny,
6 Volt stuff is easily available. Keeping it on 6 Volt means you wont fry instrument gauges.
Yes your starter motor turns slower but if the fuel is at the carby and choke is set right, it will start every time. A primer for the fuel system is really handy as the truck is not usually driven often and therefore dry fuel systems are always requiring priming.
Primer does not have to be electrical, I use a Marine type you sqeeze until it goes firm indicating the bowl in the Carburettor is full. My fuel lines are a rubber hose however. (The originals are steel)
Wiring Harness available from Vintage Wiring Harness in Victoria.
Test your coil - dont assume because its old, its had it.
A very good 6V battery that supplies over 600 cold cranking amps is available at Westrac. And it is perfect for these old trucks.
Hope this is a help not hinderance - does come from years of trial and error.
