[1939 pickup truck]

My first auto was a 1961 VW single cab bus pickup truck
As it was a stalk 6 volt system and Maine can get darn cold
I had a second 12 volt battery back aft next to motor.
With the tail lid lifted and a few simple momentary switches
We had six volts doing the ignition, & twelve spinning it all up.
While my second hand did'led the throttle till all was well...
Then the VW jump started both a 49 FORD pickup truck'
and a 52 Chevy pickup truck with long #2 jumper cables
hard wired to the old Bus. I and the others lived far from town
and the Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant in Wiscasset.
