Question:
I have a 12 volt truck and would like to tow a vintage trailer that has 6 volt system. Do you have a product to fill my needs? Thank you,

In this case I recommend upgrading the lighting on your vintage trailer to lights designed for a 12 volt system. I have included a link to our trailer lighting for you.
One of my favorites that has a vintage kind of look is the Peterson Round Trailer Tail Light, # 432000 for left hand side and # 431800 for right hand side.
Unfortunately we do not offer a product that will convert the 12 volt system on your truck to a 6 volt system for your trailer.
