I've been looking for a clean regular cab 1st Gen for a while now and I finally found a great one, but as luck would have it, it's a gasser(360 V8). At first I tossed it aside, but on second thought, the truck is a one-owner, with 58,000 miles, ZERO rust(from Arizona), and I may be able to pick it up pretty cheap. So, I am now tossing around the idea of doing a 12v conversion. This would also give me some incentive to do a motor and trans build before installing the pair.
Basically, before I go ahead and dive into this I am reaching out to see if anyone has any info on a conversion like this:
Has anyone seen this done before?
I've done some searching and found a lot of people talking about doing it, but nothing that was completed, nor even started.
Thanks, any help is much appreciated,
Will
