Starter Relay & Firewall
I have a 1949 F1 6 cyl
my starter relay is on the right side I have seen it also on the left side, which is correct, any pictures of member's Firewall, to see what have you done with wire harness.
Thanks!

If the battery is on the right then it was installed correctly. It wasn't so much a matter of electrical harness work as much as it was physical space in the engine compartment.

My panel was factory with a 6 and solinoid and batt stand on driver side,...then an 8 was put in and you could barely check the oil in the 8 with the batt stand in the way so...I moved the stand but not the solenoid,....yet

6 cyl batteries are on the left side. So your set up is correct. V8s and 52 6cyl batteries are on the right side.
His solenoid is on the right though.....
You're right. I misread the original post.
Everybody could be right, and not even know it.

Nice looking truck, is that original paint?? I may need to shop in PR next time I need a camion!
You might want to jump those battery and starter cables up a size or two, if it's still 6v. It looks like a modern 12v cable, pretty slim, draped across the head. At the terminal it looks pretty decent except those clamp-on terminals are N/G for 6v.

Below is a picture of my firewall before I started to disassemble the truck. I'm fairly certain that this is the original setup. The only change I know of is that the previous owner converted it to 12 volts but that shouldn't have affected the location of the starter relay.
This is a 1950 F1 with a 6 cylinder engine - #97HC312907.
