I don't have the numbers on the regulator I'm using now. It is a correct NOS replacement for the original 6 volt regulator. I tossed the regulator that came with the truck because it wasn't working, probably because it was 12 volt too, duh.

I checked the output voltage. It's about 8 volts which answers my question about whether the 6 volt regulator can hold down the voltage from a 12 volt regulator. Not really. At least I caught it before anything was damaged.

The truck is really stock with almost no modification. But, somewhere, more than 20 years ago, someone converted the truck to 12 volts. Just go to show you, you can't assume that just because something looks stock that it is.

I prefer the 6 volt setup. Just seems like there is more of a connection to the old days. Since I'm almost all the way back to 6 volts, I will just replace the generator.
