Re: In dash heat delete

Can you tell me the measurements of the heater delete vs radio delete. Will a radio delete plate cover the heater control hole?

Re: In dash heat delete

I've never seen a heater delete truck in my area for these years. (PA)
Funny though, I've seen quite a few 60-66 era's without heaters. ????

We were tougher back in those days.
Also, most trucks had no A/C, power steering, power brakes.

I've never seen a heater delete either. Seems to me a truck with a heater delete would have come without the blower, hoses, housing, etc. otherwise why have a delete?

Sadly, no, just the facts. Can you imagine in the 20's without heat.

Re: In dash heat delete

I like the plain simple look of the stock 3 hole dash, would loke to add the dash pad that has 3 holes for more gauges

Re: In dash heat delete

I've been looking for one of those heat delete plates. I wanted to use it to mount my mini three switch Vintage Air controls. I can't find one anywhere.

Yeah, it's about the same a -40 WITH heat.

Here's a somewhat embarassing story from 30 years ago... being up in Saskatchewan I used to rent a little shack from an old lady to park my "good" car in over the winter. Not wanting (or being allowed) to use her house bathroom when I was working in the shack, over the course of a couple of months of wrenching I managed to fill several empty antifreeze jugs with, well... urine.

Anyway, when winter came I brought my beater 69 C10 in there to winterize, and my little brother (pre-driving-age) was helping, and long story short he poured a full gallon of - you guessed it - into the rad before I noticed. This was a $50 truck that pretty much matched my net worth at the time, so I wasn't going to waste the investment of actual anti-freeze that was already in there.

A couple of months later, driving at night in the dead of winter at -40, the heater core exploded and it got exciting. First the cab filled with what you can imagine to be a horrific steam. My little brother run about a block before I could catch him. When things settled down much of that horrible, horrible mist flash-froze to the entire interior.

To make it home I just looped the heater hose from pump to intake, and couldn't afford a new heater core so drove the rest of the Saskatchewan winter without one. No heat was OK, but the lack of defrost meant it took two people to drive, because one had to continually scrape a hole in the frost to be able to see.

Wow! Man, I almost fell off my chair. Almost as funny as YouTube video about using dynamite in the septic tank...

Warning: course language....

Yep, I used to have a few old VW beetles.
