Great work, Doug! Congratulations on the 12v swap and the installation of
the wiring harness. Although I don't need the 6v battery (my '47 is already
converted to 12v), it's awfully nice of you to offer it to the Oletruckers.
As has been said recently (re: Emory Hodges offer of spare parts), one of
the greatest things about this list is the willingness of the members to
help each other. Can't beat it.
