Wiring the heater fan

This is the last unknown thing in the wiring (because it is not indicated on the wiring diagrams?), can you confirm to me that what I indicated in the photo is correct ?

Hopefully this helps. There is a resistor attached to the heater case which is shown in this diagram.

That seems to be it, the wires that go to the fan motor are red and orange and the other is brown.So brown is +12V.

Thank you for this diagram, it's surprising that I haven't found it anywhere on the net.

For most purposes 1964 wiring is similar to earlier years.

On the other hand, what is symbolized between the orange wire and the red wire before the black red wire? A resistance ?

Yes. Lowers the voltage for low speed. Hence the ‘L’ terminal on the switch diagram.

And do you know if this resistance is on the heating unit or if it is independent ? because I don't have that in my spare parts and I don't see what it could look like.

If you have and can use Ohm meter you can test the switch.
Set the meter on volts/ohms low scale say 200 ohms.
Put the lead on the brown wire/terminal and the other on the red/black.
Switch the switch and the lowest reading should be the high speed terminal.

Read my post #2 again.

Here's a picture of a resistor like what was used. This is the one for 1965-66 trucks (C5TZ), but it is visually very similar to the one for 1961-64 trucks (C1TF). When they are installed on the heater box all that can be seen is the two prongs sticking out not the wire wound resistor.





Held in place with a couple of these screws.
