Need heater help, maybe parts

[98hd]

So I broke down and bought the winterization kit from Saturn.

Very nice stuff, although I expected that for the price.

So I went to go and figure out how to mount the main heater, and it seems this deuce has no inner fender My other one does, and the heater is mounted on it.

Does anyone have one? Most of my tools and welder are up north, and I want to get the heater in before the trip, so I'd like to find a bolt in way to mount the heater unit.

Found the diagram, it appears I need bracket 13 and 15.

Why do these not come with the kit?

You can always put it in the cab. Very toasty with out having to blow the warm air all the way from the front corner of the truck. Better defrost . Better access to all the stuff you need to get to on that side of the engine. Does not interfere with leg room in pass. area either

I'm looking to do a correct installation. Or if I have to a modified installation in the original location.

Here are pics of the saturn kit.

RE: Heater install

One of mine is under dash too. Works great & leaves much better access to the engine.

John Tennis has reproduction mounting plate for the heater. look for one of his ads in the classifieds for his number.

A very nice kit, how much was it $$$. Just a little off the topic but why do some of the dueces have the driver side fender that are wider going into the engine compartment and some don't??? is it due to the truck made by a different manufacture??

 

[hndrsonj]

I think it is more the date of manufacture than who made them. I have seen 3 different types.

I purchased the plates from John, you wont be disapointed nice quality and quick shipping. Good luck hooking up the driver side defroster ducting, my shoulder still hurts from the brake pedal.

If you look in the links, you will see Joe youngs installation pics. He has made a setup out of small angle iron to support the heater, It works very well!

I have a brand new heater unit and winter grill cover for sale if anyone is interested. It is just the heater unit with fan, but it is NOS and the grill cover is NOS canvas in great shape.

The original gasser Deuce has a wider fender on the driver side,why I don't know.

To have a place for the heater. They thought things out in 1948-49.

For some reason there is a lot of unused space in the standard heater box. I cut mine down and moved it from under the hood to under the dash. Once cut down it fits under the dash --- no problem.

A gasser has a wider fender on both sides. I bet the other truck he has with the heater mounted on the fender was originally a gasser. It at least has gasser fenders.
