j hancock Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Here is a link to a B61 harness that will give you some info. Click the pdf. Trucks were pretty basic and the wiring was similar between the two models. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/tutorials/article/4-b-model-wiring-diagram/ Series parallel switch info for pos and negative ground. https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/tutorials/article/70-wiring-schematic-for-series-parallel-switch/ Post some pics of your project when you get a chance.

I've seen a lot of mods made to truck wiring over the years...it's usually more of a trucker than an electrician that cuts into them!

41chevy Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 The original system for the gas engine running a twelve volt system ran a pair of 6VOLT Batteries in Series to get twelve volts.With modern battery technology you could run a single 12 volt battery or a pair of 6 volts in series to look factory.
