jpartington Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 What model master heater would be right for my 52 b3d? Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 either of these would be "correct" model 65 and model 62 respectively 2 Quote
jpartington Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Posted June 15, 2016 Are both of these models compatible with the fresh air option? Are the heaters in the picture yours? Would you sell one? Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 Both are compatible (basically the same heater). The picture is a few years old. The brown one is in FEF and Jeff bought the other one, but I restored them both at the same time. When I go picking I'm alwasy on the look out for more. Quote
jpartington Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Posted June 15, 2016 Ok cool thanks for the info. There is a 65 on eBay right now I'm going to try to snatch up Quote

I removed the set screw, soaked the end and the shaft exposed at the set screw with PB blaster, used heat..... supported the squirrel cage from the motor with a 3" ABS coupler, tapped the end of the shaft with a ball ping and punch and drove the shaft through the bottom of the motor ( and didn't budge the shaft from the fan blades) "momma told me there would be days like this......

Jocko_51_B3B Posted October 24, 2016 Report Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Over the past two years I've been keeping my eyes open and I have finally managed to accumulate a Model 65, defroster vents, fresh air intake, control panel, cables, and knobs. Everything needs to be restored. Anyone familiar with what the stock colors are for these parts? Also, is there a good source for replacement control cables? Anything tricky about restoring the heater? Edited October 24, 2016 by Jocko_51_B3B Spelling error Quote
Dave72dt Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 ggdad1951 was doing something with cables a couple years ago, maybe still is and has done some nice looking restos on a couple of heaters, maybe still has the colors written down Quote

You wouldn't have one laying around somewhere that you would part with do you? I'm also looking for the Y duct connector that connects to the defoggers. Edited October 25, 2016 by Fiddy B2C Quote
ggdad1951 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 no repop cover plates out there, you'd have to find a donor heater someplace. If you are looking for specific parts, place a "parts wanted" post in that section of the forum. That is the best way (and recommended way) to look for parts. Quote
Reg Evans Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 Over the years I have come across a couple of originals with this redish/purple color. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v154/olddodges1/Pilot%20House%20Trucks/MVC-004F-6.jpg[/IMG] Quote
Frank's 49 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Posted October 25, 2016 I just rebuilt a model 61 that was in my 49 woody. But the vent arrangement is different? The defrost is on the top left on mine. (it is upside down in the picture) I don't see any way to rearrange the vents, but it all works good. by the way, if anyone is interested, I have a 2 speed motor that works, and will fit right in these. I will try to put it in the classifieds, but have never tried that before. (it is craigslist - atlanta) Mike 1 Quote
Jocko_51_B3B Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 Reg, Thanks for the picture in your photo bucket. I'll try to match mine to that same color. The medallion in the center looks like argent although I think I've seen some that are more of a gold color (I could be wrong). If anyone has actual paint formulas, please share. But close is good enough for me. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted October 26, 2016 Report Posted October 26, 2016 I've restored two of these the models change the configurations of several things on them. See post #2 ^^ for colors that were matched as close as we could off some heaters, the brown version and the purple/argent. Quote

Jeff Balazs Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 You know it is funny but when I bought one of these from Mark I didn't really care what the color was. But that deep Burgundy color kind of grew on me. I ended up using it for accents like the wheels and some cab components. May or may not be stock but it ends up looking period appropriate. I get compliments all the time. Jeff 1 Quote
ggdad1951 Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 That color was as close as I could get to the originals color of that specific heater....it was it's original color...I have no idea why they vary so much. Quote
Los_Control Posted October 27, 2016 Report Posted October 27, 2016 My thoughts, they were a option not from the factory but from the dealer. Were installed by the dealer or the owner. Seems they are fair game to any color combo you like, and still be correct. Quote
B1B Keven Posted October 28, 2016 Report Posted October 28, 2016 There's a truck master heater on ebay right now. Has two cover plates. 1 Quote
jpartington Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Posted June 3, 2017 Does anyone know if a model 75 would work? One on eBay right now Quote
jpartington Posted June 4, 2017 Author Report Posted June 4, 2017 What is the difference in these heaters if they will all fit? Quote
