Blower Motor Upgrade?
As I was searching through some Cummins swap builds the other day, I saw where somebody used a a blower motor and fan from a newer vehicle to increase air flow. I can't find it now that I want to though.
Has anyone done anything like that?

redneck, The fan flow is pretty decent as they left the factory. Don't want to imply that yours may not be doing the job.
Might suggest that you look for ail leaks into the cab that can keep the system from keeping up. I have that issue with my 66.

The old one kept up decent considering that I had no headliner and really bad window weather stripping. Since it's dead, I would like to put something better in. (That's just the way I am.)

I understand where you are coming from. What I am trying to convey to you is the heater core and fan are engineered to work together. Putting a larger fan in could blow the heat off the core and it not provide hot air for the fan to blow.
Sealing the air leaks can be a better move allowing a factory setup to work at max efficiency.
Hey I hope you can ride til you sweat this winter.

Well I dont know of any other blower motor you could try. If its working right and you have no leaks in your cab it works pretty good the way it is. Like stated above, I can run mine on high for 5 minutes and I have to cut it off or Im sweating.

Maybe a better and cheaper solution would be to replace a stock fan for the dead one and bump up to a hotter thermostat. My old 79 300-6 would run you out of there with every window seal leaking on the highway partially due to a hotter thermostat.
