Such a simple question, but not such a simple answer.

You say the truck has been "converted" from 6 to 12 volts.

Who did the conversion? You? An automotive electrical shop?

Was the generator replaced with an alternator?

Is the alternator the kind with the integral (built-in) regulator?

Is the ammeter wired into the truck properly? Generally, one-wire alternator installations do not use an ammeter, they use a voltmeter.

We need lots more info to be able to help.
