49' Heater valve
Did the factory install a shutoff valve for the heater, if so where was it located?

Mine has an in-line valve in the heater hose. I's not original because it is plastic. So the answer to your question is, I don't know. I think they did have a brass in-line valve though. I may be wrong.

Don't know if my Fresh Air was a factory install, but it has a fire wall mounted valve. Flow and temperature is controlled by the 'Heat' ****.

There should be a valve in the right hand cylinder head next to the temp sender. You have to turn it on and off manually under the hood.

Here is what was on the '49. So you would have to open the hood to turn on the heater.

Currently my '53 doesn't have the heater connected currently but this is what I have ordered.

The fresh air heater like FortyNiner has in his truck would have a water valve that is controlled from inside the cab by a cable. My '49 truck has a three door heater so, the water must be turned on and off manually at the water valve on the right hand cylinder head. So, it would depend on the type heater you have as to which valve you would use.
