Heater

This is the heater I picked up for $20 bucks. The nice part about these things is there simple construction.

Here it is fresh back from the powdercoaters and ready to be assembled. So far the hardest thing part about this little resto is converting to a 12 volt motor. Ross get's credit for the source and part number. Motor should be here any day now.

Yep that looks beautiful. It's a recirc heater, that was also used in certain years of Ford Cars. $20 great score!

No big deal, but finally got around to installing the rebuilt heater. Ross that motor you recommended works very well.

Excellent! Hey Marty, you're pissin me off! (teasing of course) You are moving faster on your truck in freezing Colorado weather than I am in SoCal 60s and 70s!

Everything looks so good on your truck! Well Done!

Julie, it is until I get the truck back on all 4's. Funny I was thinking how much faster things would be moving along if I only had some heat and electricity in my storage unit. I just keep hoping for an early spring.

Tee hee I was refering to your original picture post! But, Marty Trust me on this. If it was nice outside all the time , you'd have gardening, and lawn cutting and having fun in the sun and NOTHING would get done!

And one more thing, the day make that truck driveable, your restoration will come to a SCREATCHING hault!

The day mine was, and I got the patenaed camouflage paint covered up, I was interested in driving and not working. I have about $4K worth of parts -painted or rechromed to install and I'm just goofing off.

Enjoy the winter rest!

Ya, I figured that's what you where talking about. There was some interesting reactions to that picture. No rest here, the place I do all the work at has allowed me the use of another storage unit to keep my front Clip hood and over flow for free. With one proviso, I have to out by the end of Feb.

Well no it's not stock it's a dealer installed unit. I converted to 12v so the search for a replacement was on. Ross provided me with a part # that many of the part stores carry, exsample, Autozone, P/N PM354.

Ross that is a ABS cover the PO had installed, but I removed the crappy backing and replaced it with Dynaliner 1/2 inch.
