Hi George, My '55 GMC 2nd design is 12 volt but I have been told it is supposed to be a 6 volt truck before too!-LOL! All I can prove is that a friend gave me a GMC clock and it is labled and dated. Since it is dated August '55 I imagine it could be for the 1956 model year but who knows. It doesn't work but I installed it and set it to 5'oclock--it's 5 O'clock Somewhere? right?-LOL!
