got my "new to me" 51 F-1.......

being still new to this community i have some basic questions, today it was amazed at how well the truck engine runs when i noticed the battery cables. it's has the 6-volt system still, and the postive battery terminal is grounded to the engine block and the negative terminal is routed via the relay to the battery. i've never seen this before, is it correct?

 

Yep that is correct. These trucks were positive ground 6v.

 

thanks, i felt alittle silly asking........
now that i have an actualy running 51, i'm gonna get a build manual. should save some time

oh, looks like the flatbed on this 1/2 ton isn't going to be long enough or wide enough for my Dually build......(too bad, it's in such good condition)

 

Dude... Don't EVER feel silly asking. Those that ask learn... those that are too proud to ask stay clueless.... Those that are clueless get found out pretty fast.....
