Heater

[pflaming]

I am aware of heater/AC units. I only want a very good heater / defroster. I remember Nebraska winters and the heaters were just OK until Nash introduced the first frest air heater. So the question is what works?

Paul, I have seen a heater/defroster only unit from Vintage Air, Part #s 50515-VUH($165), 50615-VUH($199), 50616-VUZ($249) You can download the installation instructions and wiring diagram from the web page as well. These are "universal" fit kits. I am considering one of these for my truck as the old unit was of the 6 volt variety and I'm switching to 12 volt. Hope this gives you some idea of what's out there. I'm sure there are others as well.

Here's their link.

Do you plan on driving your vehicle in the harsh California winters?

You could always use a factory correct heater, and just replace the 6V fan motor with a 12V model. I have one or two of the Model 36 heaters that I picked up on eBay. I cleaned one up and repainted it with Hammerite paint, and sold it on eBay for good money. There are some pretty cool art-deco look heaters out there.

When the truck is back to daily driver status, I will drive it out to Indianapolis, IN where our daughter is the excutive secretary to the Art Institute of Indiana. She will get the truck, so a good heater is needed. I had a 61 Dodge which she drove to college in Santa Barbara, CA. It was a hit on campus and she still regrets giving it back to me, so this is my way of evening the score.

Will check out Vintage Air.
