Took to UPS today. You are giving the old heater a new life, don't worry about the shipping. I hate to see working parts trashed. Good luck with it.

Looks good! I installed mine today. I look forward to buttoning up the rest of the cooling system today and see if there are any leaks.

, , , but not in the heater box. It worked fine. I actually have heat in the cab now! 
Thanks Jeff. Now if I can find the blower and plenum I'll be able to spread it around a bit.

Thanks to firstrider and gearhead1952 I'm getting close to having everything I need . . . and before the end of winter. The key parts that I still need are the blower housing and plenum (see attached diagram). I don't care about the condition. Denny has done some amazing things with parts that a lot of folks would scrap. These Ford parts were only used on 1949-50 models.
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Glad I saw this thread, Gertie has the same heater in her as the ones shown here.
I do have a question though, is there anyone molding exact replacement ***** for the controls? My heater blower **** is in fine shape, but the defrost, temp, and air ***** have literally disintegrated.

Thanks for the quick reply Ilya. Yes, they are white. A good picture of them is in the first post of this thread.
The problem with the original *****, is that almost every one I have ever seen, has a serious cracking issue. And over time, they just crumble away.

A man named Larry in Calif. makes replacement ***** . He made some push buttons for the 1ST-RIDE stock radio many yrs. ago . They were the correct color , shape & etc. I was very pleased . He needs a good one to mold from . I can post his info if any one is interested .Just arrived back home from a trip to Talledega .It was AWESOME !!!!
