I have a 1955 Ford F-600 that I am restoring and intend to build a flatbed with round bale arms so I can use to move hay at the farm. It will be hydraulic operated and wanted to install a 12V hydraulic power pack. The old truck is a 6V Pos. ground system and can't decide what will work. One option is to install a 12V one wire alternator and plumb into a 12V battery. This system would be totally isolated from the 6V system. Main reason to isolate is that all guages, lights,etc. are 6V and not wanting to burn anything up. Big problem with this option is lack of space to install alternator. Another option is to somehow plumb into the existing generator and wire it to a 12V battery so that it would charge that at 12V but still leave the 6V charging the trucks battery. Either way you go here both systems must be isolated from each other. I think the generator charges at 12V on these old things and is reduced to 6V by an external regulator.
Got to be some good vehicle electricians on here with advice!
