Hi,

There is nothing particularly bold (much less 6 times bold) about
positive ground. Just remember to use the opposite sideband as another
list member pointed out.

You could use something like (exactly like) a bridge rectifier so that
your radio (or converter) doesn't care about the polarity in your
truck.
