Thanks for the information Paul. This is a positive ground system and has been setting for quite a spell waiting to be revived. It is a logging truck that has passed from father to son. I'm sure it is my friend's plan is to keep the Mack the way his father had it. I knew his father, but now I'm just along for the ride, assistance and a kind word as needed. Thanks again! Rick

Thanks for the reply Paul, I'll let my friend know. It appears as though the switch is not faulty after all. I did some cleaning of terminals and charging of batteries and the problem seems to have resolved. Sounds like many are converting to 12 volt. Is this due to problems with the switch, or other practical reasons? Thanks again for the reply.

I'm looking to find a supplier for an OEM style series parallel switch for my friend's 1956 Mack LT. What is existing is installed in the passenger seat box near the drivers seat and looks nothing like what i am finding available. The two main terminals are on the end of the switch whereas the terminals on newer models seem to be around the sides if the housing. Can these still be purchased or would we need to convert to the newer style? Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks Trent! I'll make sure Dan mentions that you referred him!

Hello everyone! I stopped driving truck years ago due to some health issues and do not own one of my own. However, I have a friend that has just "inherited" his father's 1956 Mack LT that has been in the family since new that has some questions. One question is regarding insurance. This truck will not be used for work or as a daily driver. It will be driven to truck shows, parades and so on. I know some of you are in the same situation. What is your source of insuring these rigs for such limited use? We are located in Washington State. There are other questions, but this is the priority for the moment. I will get him to visit this site and become a member, but for now i will post some pictures to share in the next few days. Thanks in advance for any replies and advice you may have. Looks like a great Mack site!
