[Farmall] 53 Chevy pickup

Is it 6 volt or 12? How heavy are your cables? If it is 6 volt you need pretty heavy cables or you get too much voltage drop.

Looking for ideas about my wonderful '53 Chevy 3/4 ton pickup with 235 engine:  
When the engine gets hot, it does not want to start.  If I hook up my battery 
booster to it, it turns over very fast and starts.  It has a new battery.  

Why does it NOT turn over fast enough to start when hot?  While running, it runs 
like a top, has tons of power.  I've had the starter rebuilt, the carburetor 
rebuilt, electric fuel pump installed, but it still needs a boost when hot.
