what heater is suppose to be in the 48 thru 50 F1 or M47.
I have two ,a magic air and one with 3 doors on the front.
I think the 3door model is the correct one. am I right?
thanks Ron

My '48 has the three door version and I think it's stock. The majic-air was a later improvement 51,52,53????

Of course it also came with a C***y heater under the driver's side of the dash...........guess anything's possible.

I just bumped into this info over on fordbarn. You might want to read thru the posts there.

Nope, nothing that fancy on this one - it was pretty well hacked up when I got it. Typical ranch truck that had been maintained true to the philosophy of, "what do we need that there thing for? the truck will still run just fine without it."

The only valve I have is the standard pet-**** type shutoff on the hot water supply at the head for summer operation; which is always open since I'm in N Montana....

THe "Ranco" valve is for the fresh air or Deluxe heaters with the air duct and the heater motor under the right fender. The "Magic-Aire was used in the 51 and later trucks. Majority of these trucks had the recirculating heaters (Ford or aftermarket)in them.
