OT: 1979 Kenworth positive ground ??

Posted by Helper on January 08, 2004 at 06:07:22 from (209.47.89.113):

Got a call the other day from my son who lives out of town and is working on his friends 1979 truck, I think it is a Kenworth. Anyways, he was installing a hookup for a phone in the truck dash and he found out that the truck has a positive ground electrical system. The truck has 4 six-volt batteries (I assume two pairs each hooked up in parallel then the pairs joined in series). He says there is no doubt that it is a positive ground system. Was this the factory setup? Somehow I doubt it. Is it possible for an alternator to end up being reversed polarity?
