Re: So I drove through some water...

I ran a '55 1st Design for a while, after wrecking my '69 Power Wagon and before buying a '71 K/20. It was an all original barn fresh truck, so still 6v. I ran that everywhere and anywhere. It didn't crank so fast so I kept a 12v battery on the passenger floor. Battery cables were hooked up to the under floor 6v battery and I'd hook them to the 12v to start, then unhook. Worked like a charm. Didn't use the starter long enough to burn it up. That think started but quick, too!
