Yes, the original electrical system on this 1953 Chevrolet 3800 utility truck for sale on Hemmings.com has been switched over to 12-volt. But the rest of the truck – including its signature feature, the original and still operating ladder, as well as its utility box – remains well preserved rather than converted into another highly polished flatbed or pickup bed truck. From the seller’s description:
