Upgrading to a 12V system.

[PHATSPEED7X]

Know if any kits, or easy ways of doing this? Truck is a orginial 1953 Chevy 3100 with a 216 I-6.

Easy

Do a search in the 1947-1954 Forum. It has been done by many of us and it is easy.

PHATSPEED7X,
I bought the EZ-Wire kit. The wires are marked every 6" and color coded. It even has the conn. if you are going with a new steering column or keeping your original like me. I also bought a set of dolphin guages. There prices were good also.

Good luck,

Mike

Replace all bulbs, get a NAPA IC64 coil (with internal resistor) and a Runtz resistor on the fuel guage. Everything else will work on 12v. The starter will spin faster and the horn will be LOUD.

I'll look into the EZ kits. Thanks.
