I've never owned a truck this old so I'm little unclear on "reverse polarity" on a the 6 volts system. My newly acquired 49 GMC has this set up.

Can anyone enlighten me on proper terminal connections. I have a grounding strap from frame with post connector; a huge power wire from starter with terminal connector; and lastly I have a smaller (1/4") wire with post connector that looks like it goes to the outer casing (ground) of the starter. The truck runs with just the power line from the starter to the negative side of battery and the grounding strap to the positive side.

Pretty awesome truck.......

thanks
