Shep, Indeed many convert them to a straight 12 volt systems (think Mother Deere has them) and still use the same two 12 volt batteries, but wired in paralell this time, + to +, - to - and the negatives of both attached to frame ground with the + battery post(s) wired to the starter and accessories, and the 12 volt starter is the most expensive item, several hundred bucks. The 12 volt alternator isnt all that expensive as its simply a 12 volt Negative ground and I would use at least 0 or better yet 00 Gauge battery n starter n ground cables.

On the light switch where the two A and B circuit BAT inputs were, they would be tied together with now only one 12 volt + battery source (from where both + are tied in paralell). The lights arent that complicated to change over as they were already for 12 volts its just that some were on the A battery and others the B, but now those are tied and common from ONLY the paralell + 12 volt combination. The gauges may or may not be tricky, but if they were originally configured as 12 volts negative ground (i.e. were fed ONLY from the Negative grounded battery) then they woulndt be any problem.

NOTE Im NOT a New Generation guy and have never done of of these but am knee deep in theory to explain how n why, but you really need to talk to someone who has done this before as far as cost and how much trouble or how complicated it all was !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buick n Deere and Gerald J and others are wayyyyyy more familair with 24 volts and conversions then I would be

Best wishes n good luck, let us all know how it turns out.
