Good idea! I changed my 36 pickup to 12 volt. one way is to get a 56 or later 12 volt generator and put your front end frame and pulley on it.

Another way is to use a 12 volt regulator with your 6 volt generator and it will put out 12 volts but not as much amperage.

Either way you'll need a 12 volt regulator, but I prefer the 12 volt generator.
