Not a problem on the 6V. I've converted Jeeps from 6 to 12 and then back to 6 a few times.
I'm an EE, a bus driver and a federal government worker all in one. To get through college (with no debt, thank you mom & dad for the help) I worked on cars, fixed radios for the cops and did commercial and industrial electrical work.
I'm having fun right now trying to get the brakes up to snuff so I can drive it into a storage place until I get my garage set up to handle the FC. The storage lot doesn't take trailer queens and the brakes are, ahh, a bit questionable. They stop the truck but the master cylinder and the right rear wheel cylinder are both wet with brake fluid.
Unless someone in Phoenix can stash it for me until the weekend, I'm going to be busy--I've only got today off!
