- Our trucks used to have a crank handle as standard equipment, meaning you should be able to start it by hand; right, Bob? That's pretty slow cranking!!! Tim '50 1/2t dlx oletrucks is devoted to Chevy

- One thing Bob mentioned that reminded me of something, are you using 12 volt rated wires from the battery? 6 volt systen require a heavier cable. Everytime you double the voltage, you cut your ampera
