Only part of the starting system is 24v. The rest of the truck is standard 12v. You can get 12v from the front battery and parts of the bus bars on the firewall (where the battery cables go to).

Sold my CUCV and won't likely be back. If you want a good forum with excellent knowledge of 73-87 GM trucks where folks won't judge you for modifying YOUR vehicle, please join us at www.ColoradoK5.com .

Oh, and don't EVER buy anything from Alfa Heaven. Do a search.

The bus bar where the 2nd batt connnects is 24v. Just connect it to the front batt or get a 24v winch and connect it to the slave plug.

There's 12v on one of the bus bars...I think the lower one. I welded a ratchet to it this last summer...whoops...

Ummm... no...

There is 24v + on the top bar, and 24v - on the bottom bar.

connect to the front battery, but keep in mind if your gonna be doing any amount of regular winching you will want to in vest in a really good battery as a winc hdoes put a strain on the batt.

There is a 12 volt tie in point on the firewall on the driver's side, just to the left of the brake booster (looking from the front of the truck). This is where all of the vehicles accessories are tied into. The bus bar on left is 24 volt, top is hot, the bottom is ground.

Trkosaur, that 12v terminal, would not work for a winch supply.

If you replaced your front battery with a dual post type battery(top and side post), that would be nice for a 12v winch connection.

Doghead had a good suggestion... I'm running an 8000 lb Warn that I have connected to the front battery, no problems except the terminals are pretty busy with multiple connections.
