Does anyone have a picture of the accessory heater for a 1950 Ford pickup? I understand that there were several. I found one that has Ford script embossed on the front and three control ***** that mount under the dash.
Next question, I assume that there was ducting to the dash? if anyone has pictures of the ducts it would be helpful too.
What color were they painted?
Thanks,

OK, I restated my search and found a picture of the heater and ducting. If I understand what I'm looking at the heater fan w/ducting is mounted outside and the defroster ducts are fed from the two round ducts atop the heater box.....since I only have the box and controls, the ducts will be a challenge to find!!!!

 

So, there are two types of heaters: fresh air and recirculating. The under fender duct work for the fresh air is the toughest to find with the blower housing nearly impossible. A reasonably capable fabricator can make one. The result would be something like this:




The rest of the fresh air lines can be found on ePray on occasion - or check with Firstrider.

The under dash lines are available from Dennis Carpenter: Defroster Hose 2 1/2" Id | Dennis Carpenter Ford Restoration Parts

Tried to give you reps for this, but I have to spread em around...

 

Only '48-'50 models used the version with the blower mounted outside of the RF of the cab with a metal tube running to the front of the truck. Denny Dahl (firstrider) can help you get what you need.

You should be aware that if you want to install electric wipers most of the kits require that you significantly modify the left metal defroster duct that is attached to the dash to provide clearance for the electric wiper motor.
