So before you run the truck after switching, you need to re-polarize the generator ( do a search on the forum for how to do). Look at the coil if the + side of the coil is connected to the points, it is set up for + ground, if the - side is to the points it is set up for - ground.
Look at the starter and generator for tags, black tag = 6 volt, red tag= 12 volt orange tag = 24 or higher volt
