12 volt conversion in a 1950
 

My 71 shortbox is stalled out in bodywork and am bored so I figured I would put together my fathers 1950 panel van so at least it will move under its own power. I'm going to do the 77 c10 frontend conversion thing and put in the 350 from the donor truck. To be honest I never even looked i did just assume it was originally a 6 volt truck. I have looked on here a bit but cant seem to find any info on doing a 12 volt conversion (12 and volt are too short for a search). Can anyone point me in the right direction please. I'm not old or wise but have learned mostly from error that it is best to do some homework before cutting abunch of wires.

On the 77c10 conversion the front wheels will stick out about an inch on each side that you may not be able to compensate for with off set rims. you wil need Van rims to get it to one inch.

here is a good how to on the electrical conversion
