Heather and defroster 1958 pick-up

[Benoist]

I looking to a heater to put in my 1958 Chevy pick-up
I don’t need an AC system because I live in the Nederland’s
Can I use a system from a different car or truck? (Junkyard)



Thanks to all info

shazzamm!
that is a sweet 58, and no the yellow didn't sway my opinion
post more pics of that baby

the stock heaters work marginally anyway in sub-freezing temps
some older european cars had box heaters that can be transplanted
vintage air has a heater only option that is compact here is a link to the catalog page

i do like your truck, here's it's twin

you might look for a heater used in a fleet type truck or van, a lot of times they are simple box units like were used as dealer add on's in the 50's. Something like this might work too:

As your in Europe try www.s-v-c.co.uk they have a range of heaters and a valve for the hot water feed, I used the Clayton with defroster for front screen, works great in my 54 truck. Your truck looks good I like the 58/59 model years I would like to find a short bed fleetside.

If you want to go stock, I still have a 'standard' heater (chevy 56) somewhere ... I started pulling it apart, but then I found a deluxe unit...
The core was not leaking when I bought the truck, but I think the fan was not working anymore ... have to test that again ...

... and I'm not that far away ...
