[Oletrucks] 54 starter/6 volt generator?

[VictrLopez]

You make a good point on the safety angle so i will have to be careful with
those long legged kids in my truck.

Let me ask about a 6 volt generator issue.  i have a generator that is once
again giving me problems.  The rebuilder here in town appears not to have done
a great job as it has only been 3 yrs. since the rebuild.

Should I switch to an 6 volt alternator?

thanks, Victor

One disadvantage of the stomp starter is that some kid playing in the truck
could press it and cause the truck to move.  Won't start without the key, but
it will turn over and move if it is in gear.

Well, you can't use a remote starter switch when working under the hood, and,
if you don't have a good working hand brake or park gear, you have to do some
fancy foot work to get a left foot on the brake so the right foot can press
the starter, for two advantages to the solenoid switch. It's not enough for me
to swap it out, I like to go with originality,  but just sayin...

i agree.  i have a 1955 1st series Panel truck, 6 volt with floor pedal
started. I dont see the disadvantage of the floor board pedal starter.
