1964 Heater

[JimQ]

Just finished getting my Deluxe heat up and running. I picked up the truck this summer and the heater was a disaster.

All 3 levers were broke off the controller. The blower motor switch was bad. The blower motor resistor was bad. All 3 cables were pretty well frozen. AND the duct work to the defrost vents was trashed.

After about $80 and a few hours work, she works like a champ. I love these old trucks!

Tell me how you spent $80.00.
Everytime I told something it costs well into $100.00 or more.

Born; I would check the air flow/ leak situation as mentioned earlier. My 'burb has the deluxe heat and in winter (not that cold) it cooked me in about 5 minutes of driving. I'm sure it would work well in colder areas.

I am re doing my Dlx. Heater and I was wondering if you can tell me where you found the resistor?
Thank you,
