Original Heater 2nd series

Can't seem to find any info? I'm missing the blower portion. Only parts listed with most vendors are just the blower motors?

If the motors come with the squirrel cage that is pretty much it unless you are missing some of the tin, levers and little parts. The factory assembly manual has all the detailed diagrams you would need to see what you have missing. They are available online for about $20.

I only have the half that stores the heater core, I need everything the blower assembly mounts to.

Did all heaters have the blower?

I looked in the assembly manual last night and it does not have any information on the heater. In fact it shows a delete plate where the controls go. It is not listed in the RPO section either.

Does anyone know if there is another factory manual for accessories or 58-59 specific stuff? The manual I have says 55-59 on the cover but has no information on steel fleetside beds either.

I would assume all heaters had a fan, even non-factory box units. My grandmothers Willys's had a cool one that the fan knob lit at different levels as the speed increased, still remember the glow of it during very early morning trips into the woods to hunt as a child...

There were several types of heaters in this series truck some factory and some aftermarket. Post a picture of what you have and maybe we can ID it for you. Or point you in the right direction. The deluxe type had the lever control in the dash the standard had a knob either under or in the heater control delete plate

But as a rule they all had a motor with either a squirel cage or blade fan in it.
