1952 F-1 With MagicAir Heater question
I need a favor.
I'm reworking my cab. Over the years, several different heaters were used in my truck with different mounting stud locations and heater hose locations. As a result, my firewall is filled with holes. I am now in the process of welding them up. On the stud holes, I'm welding them up and grinding them flush. On the heater hose holes, I'll have to cut some sheet metal patches and weld them in
If you have a 52 F-1 with a MagicAir heater installed, I would like to see some photos of your firewall showing where the mounting studs and heater hose holes are located. I have a heater to refurbish, but I don't have it at the shop with me right now and I'm ready to weld. I'm not worried about exact locations right now, I just want to weld up the ones that are obviously wrong. My truck may have had one of these at one time, so, some of the holes I have may be correct. I'd just like to see what y'all have.
Below is what I'm starting with.
Thanks in advance for any pics you reply or PM me with.

The fresh air tube inlet knock out on the RS kick panel is still intact which means your truck never had a Magic Air heater system . Most likely a standard box type recirculating heater . If you want to be yr. correct the core tubes on a '52 are 3 1/8" O.C.The '51 is 5 1/8 O.C.Both yrs. have the same triangular mounting studs . Fell free to give me a call 772-337-6393 . Email is koda06@bellsouth.net
Will get you in the right direction om your MAH . You will need to use your die grinder & cut out the almost sq. RS kick panel knock out . Drill the corresponding 3 holes to attach the fresh air tube elbow . If need be I can make a template for the elbow & heater mounting . First thing I would do would be use your rear heater case to position the correct holes on the fire wall . That should tell you which holes should stay & which should be welded up If you need any parts for the heater system let me know .Check back often , Later Denny the "MAHK " on FTE
As seen in your pics the bottom knockout circle is for a '51 MAH . I believe the 3 mounting holes are in the correct position .
