Got the heater out. Big mouse nest behind it. Took it apart carefully. All seems to be in good shape. Just filthy. Motor was seized. Ordered a new one. Then thought about it, took motor apart, cleaned it all up. And it is running great. Guess I have a spare. I will use the new one when it comes. Sanded everything down. Primed and painted with a gloss enamel high temp paint. I am happy with the results. Just have to put it all back together and reinstall in the truck.

Not even really planning on using the heater as I am not planning on running the truck in the winter but a slight breeze blowing on the windshield is nice to defog it.

That why I like working on old things. Easier to work on. Simple design. I don’t know much about what I’m doing, but with all the help on here, I feel pretty good about doing it myself. Plus my boys are interested and have been helping out a lot.
