56 Heater box ideas??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for a LOW BUCK heater/defrost box for my 56. I may want ac someday, but am not all hung up on it. The box out of an early Mustang/Falcon looks like it might work.... Right now I have nothing, but would like to use the original style deluxe heater controls. The original radial style heater boxes look too rich for my blood. Idea? Thanks upfront, Dusty

Surely somebody has an idea? What about some of the aftermarket heaters?

I think vintage air and classic air both have heater only packages. I traded my stock deluxe heater for a used vintage air set up (less compressor).

look at kennys rod and custom they have some nice universal heater unit that are inexpensive, maybe in the 100 - 150 range
