It looks like there were three different type heaters and lots of unexplained wire and cable transits. But you got her lookin' good.

It sure was riddled with holes but you're doing a fine job of eliminating them..

Hey EffieTrucker, Where in Kentucky are you? We are thinking ahead to retirement and Kentucky is one of the locations on our list. Biggest issue seems to be the threat of Tornadoes!! Any thoughts on that worry?

Cheers, John

Not to hijack the thread. . I live in Louisville and I'm looking at moving to Tennessee when I retire. Check out taxes etc. before you commit.

My sympathy goes out to you. I went through the same pain. But, in the end it is worth it. My truck came from the factory with out a heater. Can you imagine a farmer without a heater in his truck up here in winterland! I scrounged one up from a 51 or 52. I had a whole plethora of parts laying around all over the farm. Your truck is looking good, I;ve been working on mine since 20 ought 6.
