I thought this thread was about heaters??
Can anyone tell me what sort of heater I have in my truck? This truck was outfitted with lots of old Chevy parts by a PO so I’m guessing it may be Chevy?? It certainly lacks the style & beauty of several others posted here.

Where did you get the 12 volt motor? thanks
That’s a good reminder for all of us to stay on topic as much as possible. It’s always an option to start another thread.

Hey Bob....
Ok the 3 speed blower motor i bought as a kit off of Fleabay.......if i remember correctly that kit had the motor .... wiring harness..... relay and dash switch and the fan blade came from Graingers......my .problem is...it is very Damned loud....!! even on low i can barely stand it running.....so i need to find another motor or find out why this one is making so much noise ...without the blade on the motor is quiet........so i am thinking it has something to do with the blade pitch or something along those lines......guess i am lucky where i live i do not really have a need to use it but once in a while driving at night on a cold winter evening ...which is something i do not do on a regular basis .....and it never really gets all that cold here anyway to the point that i really need it.....as by the time truck warms up to gain any useable heat out if it.....i am usually with in a mile or so of my destination ........so i can live without it.

thanks for the info. where i live i don't really need a heater either, but it is a Jeepster (no windows) and there are others in the family that like to be somewhat comfortable.

Here is heater in my 51 Wagon. Works on all three speeds. Defrosts also. Says MP on the front. Don’t know manufacturer
I have the same one in my 55 wagon. Mine heats the whole cab really well, although I am lusting after some of the older Art Deco ones people have posted in this thread.

As a matter of fact...I just got home from a trip in the truck to go get some tacos...from Tuesday Taco Night...
drove there with windows down and wearing shorts...Hmmm ...not real great idea. after dark...did not think bout it...i was hungry and going after food...thinking ..Damn...it is kinda cold driving like this...Hey wait just a Damned minute...i Do have a heater in this thing...so i get there and promptly go around and roll up the passenger side window and close the wing.
i come out hop in roll driver side window up...fire it up and promptly spin heater knob to 2 and instantly warm air started filling the cab...Ahhh...much better.....!!
time i got home some 20 mins later i was nicely toasty...that is first time the heater has ran in some 10 months...i think it last ran back in January or Febuary...as it is now starting to get cold here again at night...not that i drive my truck much at night...good to know it still works if needed.

Did you pressure test your coil? Mine failed and these round donuts are not available unless you have one custom built. I did and it was expensive.
