49 F1 heater

How difficult is it to install the under dash heating unit in my 49 F1? I have the old original one. It just needs to be restored.

Which version do you have - fresh air or recirculating?

Post us a picture and we'll tell you what you've got, if it's original or aftermarket, made for the truck or something else, fresh air or recirc. Heaters are simple to install. You just need holes in the firewall for the attaching studs and the heater hose connections from the core.
