  2. Anyone replaced the 6v motor with a 12v in this type of heater? Have a part number? Thanks in advance!
  3. Thank you guys, I am reading up on all your suggestions. I appreciate your experience!
  4. Los Control, thank you for the great advice, you are correct, the old wire is taped up cloth wrapped stuff. I just replaced the main battery cables as the cloth was worn through in a couple spots and bare wire touching the frame. I love that it is so original and unrestored for the most part and want to keep it that way, but safety and protecting it from burning down my garage is more important to me than being a true original-parts truck in all respects. I have looked up the kits on DCM website, will do a little more digging for comparison. Has anyone here a preference for wiring kits and know which type have fuse protection? This is the fuse I was thinking of that VintageAutoGarage recommends, but no info about how and where to install it https://vintageautogarage.com/alternator-output-wire-fuse-125-amps/
  5. First post... proud new owner of this canadian made Dodge pickup! Read a lot of topics on this site and hope to meet some helpful Dodge and Fargo owners. First thing I'm tidying up the wiring, it has had a 12v conversion and lights wired up, but still most of the original wiring is there and a bit messy. My priority is to make sure it doesn't burn up! One thing I read online is to have a 125 amp fuse between the alternator and battery, I haven't been able to find a good tutorial on how and where to add this. The alternator wire seems to take a long pathway through the dash wiring (amp guage) and ignition, etc. If anyone has experience or has found good info online you can point me to, I would appreciate your help. Yes, I own a shop manual and have studied the wiring diagram... 1953 DH-1 (cdn version of the B-4-B)
