My 51 PW is still 6 volt. It has all original wiring. I gone through and cleaned contacts and connectors. It starts always within a few seconds. Just pull full choke for just a second while cranking then push in choke and it starts. If it doesn't start I know that I parked it with very little gas and what litter was there evaporated after sitting a month or two. I did replace the armature in the starter in 1986 when I got the truck.
Electrical all works. Headlights are great with Hella housing and 6V H4 bulbs. All gauges work without any issues. I honestly see no reason to convert.
