Because of the front license plate brackets I'm going to say those are 51s. 52s had slots in bumper for the plate to bolt directly to

Great! I believe I saw that tip on an episode of Motortrends Roadkill garage. They do a segment called zip tie moments.

I'm guessing (and hoping) he's actually using the PVC coated steel lines.

Are you using the copper nickle lines? Also one tip I saw recently and plan to try is zip tie the lines together at each bend to keep them aligned.

Try this

Thanks for the FYI. Haven't seen that one yet but I got one today warning me my PayPal account had been suspended for suspicious activity. Best rule is anytime you get something like that don't click the email and go to the site yourself to verify.

Here is the OEM heater.

I'd suggest this one. More heavy duty than some of the cheapy units. Works on 6 12 or 24v just by changing the indicator bulb. I have them in both my 46 and 48 and plan to wire one into my 47. I agree with Jeff the modern 6v flashers are junk. I am running old ones I grabbed out of junk cars at the junkyard.

looks great!

Sounds good. Have you posted the whole truck? I've also got a 47 I'm building. Check my turkey truck build thread

That would be aftermarket. The Mopar one proudly says Mopar model 36 on the front. Either way you should be able to either repair or replace that wire. Could you attach new wire and then heat shrink over the remaining old wire ?

OE is a Mopar model 36. Should be split in the center with a stainless band around the split.

What heater do you have? Is it the Mopar one of one of the many dealer installed aftermarket types?

I didn't include star wars because I couldn't pick just one and didn't want my list to be like Merle. Also bullitt? The chase scene is one of the best but the entire movie Zzzzzzzz
