The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Reverting back to a positive ground like original

My 28 Truck was modified to have a negative ground. The previous owner told me he did that for his CB. I removed the CB so I'd like to switch it back to a positive ground to be more like original. It has an alternator and I realize I'll have to change that out but not sure about the starter. Are starters wired differently to work with a negative ground? Other than those considerations will I just need to switch the cables on the battery? (there's no LED's in any of the lighting). Thanks
