fireflem Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Gentlemen,I was wondering if there would be any benefit to convert a 65’ C95 to negative ground. How much would it cost and how difficult will it be? I wanted to add a radio system (am/fm) for tailgating and party use but it is an open cab and looking at a Marine type radio. What are your thoughts?thanks Fireflem Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/10080-1965-c95-conversion-positive-ground/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Rider Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Welcome. Is the truck already a 12v system? Changing is not difficult but requires attention to certain details. Is the truck gas or diesel? Give me more details and I can easily walk you through. A marine version of a stereo is not really needed unless you are storing the truck outside. What type of charging system does the truck have?

Greg Rider Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I just saw that you have the 707 gas engine. Cool. Let me know about the other things.

Firemack Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Fireflem,You can go either way, they make 12V positive to negative convertors, which were commonly used for radios for Mack firetrucks for years.
