1.) Starter will work without changes.

2.) Change all light bulbs and heater motor.

3.) Wipers are vacuum, right?

4.) Change coil to a 12-Volt unit (with ballast resistor, if needed).

5.) Find the power supply wire to the fuel gage, and power it through a voltage reducer. (I used a 6-Volt integrated circuit regulator, mounted on a scrap of aluminum, for a heat sink.)

6.) Connect up a 12-Volt alternator. The site linked below has a lot of info on that:
