That was going to be my suggestion as well. In fact, that's what I have in my '49. It's the original pedal-type starter. I converted the rest of the truck to 12 volts, but I didn't convert the starter, and it works just fine for starting the engine. You might want to avoid cranking for excessively long periods of time, as it may be more prone to overheating than if you were still running on 6 volts.
