six volt systems are entirely suitable. Its not at all difficult to convert to a 12 volt alternator. it takes some thought but little efort. Regardless of which path you choose look closely at the condition of your wireing harness. that fabric insulation can be deceptive in its condition. When i converted mine to 12 volts I made my own harness much cheaper and of much better quality that anything offered commercialy. Essentially it was a copy of the origional harness with modifications for the alternator and additions such as spot lites. Cost was less than 300 dollars and too about forty hours. read a few books on it as well. Its no mystery at all, just well thought out effort.
