Heater delete plate worth ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I never seen a heater control non ac delete plate for sale before or seen one for that matter . I would think they are very rare . Any ideas as to what they might be worth ?

I personally dont think its worth much if it dosen't come with the firewall delete plate also. If its a complete delete set-up its proably worth more.... wont do much for our Canadian winters though.

I thought all Cdn trucks had them. Heater was just set on high from factory.

Hey Jose, I watched one on E-Bay bring around $60.00 bucks but it was the inside plate only.

Yeah i know Tim that was my Daughter that bid on it and won it for me . I am thinking i might have paid to much for it

Jose, I bid on that too. I'm kind of a drag racing nut and not much for creature features. I have one truck that is stripped to the bone (almost no options. I thought this was going to look cool next to the delete plate. I was going to bid it up to about $45. It probably would have been worth more if they had the outside firewall plate too. I usually make my own though. I have made removable ones with button head screws holding them on and I did a pro street one once where I welded the hole completely shut. Brian

Brian i don't why i even had her bid on it for me . I never thought about the fire wall plate . It gets to cold here in the winter got to have a heater . Oh well it is confirmed i am a truck nut .

Overall still...... with all the smooth firewall conversions being done it would make the interior look a lot more stock... and it is still a rare piece.

I've heard the complete delete setup can bring a few hundred bucks. It's more than two piece IIRC. There is the control cover, the firewall cover and the defrost hole covers. Not very common....

Does anyone have pics of the plate in your truck?
