Default Re: 1936 Truck restoration

You'll need a generator that can output 12v. Several ways to get there, the best approach IMO is the alternator conversions inside an original generator housing. I have used Whitney if your interested. I keep the voltage regulator and use it for a wiring terminal. If your wanting to stick with a generator they can be reworked to output 12v. Also need to decide if your going to go with something similar to original for a fuse panel or something more modern. If your using original gauges you will need the voltage drops.

Thanks for the info
I don't think I've even seen, I have not looked, a fuse box yet. Is there anyone that sells an original looking 12 v battery?
