Thumbs up

Whoa! Nice!

How much are you selling those for? Hell, I'm interested! Been after one of those for my '50 F2 for years!

Have you got any that NEED restoration?

They had ductwork that ran under the fender and brought fresh air in the cab. You can shut the heat off buy a pull of a cable instead of getting out and shutting the valve off. You could get just fresh air if you wanted. It was supposed to pressurize the cab somewhat to reduce wind noise. They looked better and fancier. you had the option to shut the defroster on an off.

The Magic Air fresh air heater was a $62.40 option in '52 .Seen this # on a build sheet on a '52 in the truck corral at the Nat's in '06 and will never forget it . It was either pay the price or freeze you a$$ . It also gave you the option of defrost or defog as opposed the standard recirculating heater that only gave you heat and defog . One could open the fresh air door in summer and obtain cool clean outside air for the cab .The air enter in over the screen coverd duct above the right front fender and traveled thru a 4" round tube to the RF kick panel .
