51 HEATER

My green 51 i just got has no heater. That should be the last thing on my mind down here in FL. but i will need one come winter. Can someone show me a pic. of the kind of heater came in the 51. My 51 USAF truck has a really big heater box in it. I'M THINKING THAT WAS A GOVERMENT THING.Did they have a magic air ?????

Either magic air or a regular heater that the dealer would install. Contact Denny, "firstride", as he restores Magic Air heaters. A complete restored system runs about $600, I think. He's in Florida too.

Here's the standard dealer-installed box heater, surely all you'll need in FL.

Heck, In Florida if you get cold can't you just roll down your window and warm up?

I think you should get air conditioning instead!
