Stock Heater box alternatives?
 

Does anyone know of a way to do away with the stock heater box under the hood On a 66 and move to a smaller one or a possible in dash one? I'm not sure if there are any options out there so i apologize if its a dumb question...

Thanks!

One of my trucks has the stock under dash heater. It's called the "economy heater option" and it does not intrude into the engine compartment at all.

It just has two block off plates.

Do you know if anyone reproduces these or where i might be able to find one?

Clean set up. Do tell where you got it and the block off plates.

It's stock for my truck. This is what trucks got that didn't have the deluxe heater package.

I also have the stock economy heater in my 1960 GMC. I got mine on Ebay. I also see the block off plates there every once in a while.

i got mine out of a 61 and put it in my 64
very simple and clean setup

If I'm not mistaken, those recirculating heaters were only available from '60-'63. They were intended for areas that don't get very cold,as they don't do the best job in very cold and damp conditions. I haven't seen them in the '64-'66's from the factory.

Here is a link to a couple of small heaters used for Hot Rods. About as basic and simple as it gets.

I found some of the plates and heaters!!! haha

I bought mine from Old Air Products. Complete underdash heat and AC. It is somewhat expensive but not as bad as some of the other companys, works very well. I don't have any picks on my computer but it is pretty clean in appearance. It includes a block off plate for the old heater box as well.

Try looking in the 55-59 second series trucks. They have almost the exact same heater.
