Greetings Denny! Have not posted in a looonngg time, but am now getting back to doing a bit of work on Gertie.

What I need are the tubes and blower housing for my 1949 fresh air heater. Basically about all the parts that are under the right fender. I think the inlet housing above the headlight is OK, but the rest is absolutely rotted away. Got those parts available?

Email on its way Denny, thanks.

Can anyone tell me are the 48-52 Coe heaters much different than the other f series heaters.

I can answer that pweng1. I pulled the heater for my COE out of a f600. perfect fit. I'll snap up a pic of it when I get off work tomorrow, and post it up for you. Also, also, I like your COE, I still prefer the 20's on the front, but yours looks good with the 17's.

Lg My bad i should of told you i want it for my 51 Coe . Yours is a 53 and they are different styles i think. In my 54 Coe i just swapped it with a 56 and got the 12 volt fan motor that way. 53-56 all were the same except 56 changes to 12v.

The main body of the Magic air heater is the same as others . The only difference is the fresh air intake is a cylinder w/ a baloney slice looking baffle / door & fresh air is introduced through the fire wall via a steel tube w/ a 3" hose / duct . Have only seen 1 in 10 yrs. of the heater hobby & it was sold before I arrived home from the "Great 2013 Parts Safari " Found in a salvage yard in N.C. Wis Came out of a '51 COE . Will find the pics & post later .

Pweng, that's all good, and mine is a 54. For the earlier ones, should still fit. The cab on the F1 is the same through the F8, just the fenders are different on the bigger trucks. I went and looked at a 51 COE, and most everything interior wise is the same as the standard trucks near as I can tell. (I think the upper and lower valence panels interchange, as well as the grill assembly.) I didn't get the 51 because that would have been another 14 years before I got to work on it... lol.

Ok thats explains alot. i was thinking the hole was for fan motor. Still it dont seem like my tubes are same distance apart.

Here you can see the hole match up t a F1

"51 COE Magic Air heater . Ringed flange inserts in hole in firewall . Have yet to see the fresh air tube inner fender ducting for a Magic Air in a COE .Pic 1 is in found condition . It is behind the speaker grill . Restored condition w/ flanged fire wall insert that connects to the fresh air tube /duct . 3 " canvas w/ wire helix hose connects fresh air side tube to fire wall insert . Restored '51 cable control panel w/ lucite panel .

Thank you Denny you are the man!!! Now to look back at my parts to see if i have anything like the fresh air tube. Do you know if motor is same bolt up as the all the F series. Your refurbishing looks great!

As stated the main case is the same for all '50 -'52 Magic Air heaters . To be purist correct the only difference is the '50 &'51 core tubes are 5 1/8 " OC while the '52 is 3 1/8 " OC . Cable control panel is different also from '51-'52 although they are interchangeable & each will work with the other heater .Have many complete systems & many misc. parts for all types of '48-'52 heaters . Having 3 new '51 cores made up . John Hulley you are next for a '51 Magic Air heater system .
Will be mid Oct before anything heater wise is done . Preparing for the F100 All FORD truck show trip to Pigeon Forge , Tn . Oct 4 -8 .
We have a club event this weekend . Mid Oct 18 to end Of Oct is the "Great 2017 Parts Safari "
If any one needs a specific part , hard to find part or elusive part for '48-'52 truck get your list to me by Oct 16 . Still have 12 Magic Air heaters , & 32 lots of parts from Little Dearborn ( good pickup load ) at my brothers in N. Wis that will be coming back w/ me . All will be at Daytona in Nov. Thanks Denny

pweng1 , could you please post a pic of the fresh air tubes / ducting for a COE ? Am curious as I have never seen what they look like . The '51 COE where the heater came from in the bone yard had no front clip .
