I am working on a 78 ford truck that I am installing a vintage ford speedo with gauges built in the speedo
my question here is how do I wire this gauge to accept a 12v negative ground system as these are made for a 6v positive ground system
any help would be greatly appreciated

I would *think* that you could just use a volt-a-drop to get 6V and then hook the + up as the ground and the - as the hot. You would have to make sure that it wasn't otherwise grounded to chassis ground though.
