I am restoring a 1955 GMC TF and in my search for
parts 
it seems the 6 cyls were 6 volt and the v8s were
12volt

I bought a reproduction of the sales brochure for my
1955 First Series - just for a little fun reading.  
Part of the brochure talked about the new 12 volt
system.  But, the owners manual that came with the
truck talks about a 6 volt system.  My truck is 
12 volt now, but I'm pretty sure it was 6 volt 
originally.  I was wondering why there was a 
discrepancy between the brochure and the owners
manual - I guess it may be a similar issue.

Apparently, there were some AD trucks (i.e. some of 
the 1955 1st) with a 12 volt system.

Later,
Steve
