I need to decide how to wire up these batteries. There are four of them. Are they 12volt batteries wired in series/parallel for 24v or are they supposed to be 6v batteries wired in series for 24v? I can't find any info on the web...  |

They are 12 volt batteries, look "4D" series, judging from that they have the two outer ones facing one way and the two center ones the other and the age of the truck they are likely series/parallel.

amcdude is more than likely correct. The era that kit depicts 12/24 volt systems were quite common. The 24 volt side was for the starter while the 12 volt side was for the rest of the truck.

Thanks guys!! When I have an update I'll post it in the appropriate forum!
I bought this kit as a partial build-up on Ebay and stripped it down to basic components. Then they re-released it....
