Been down in the teens and twentys this month here outside of
Chicago. Been driving the '5O a couple times a week, without
earmuffs or scarf. I've actually got the heater valved off at
the water pump because my Deluxe heater core has a tiny leak.
But there is still enough hot water seeping past the shutoff
that the core gets hot. With the blower on high the cab is
quite comfortable. Drove her for a while yesterday, was a
cloudy day but it was still nice inside the cab.
AC in the summer, might be nice when you're standing still,
but with the side and cowl vents open as long as you are
moving along again, it's quite comfortable in the cab.
Even though Blue's not a show truck, a couple of years back
we took part in the Oswego Drag Strip Days car show. This is
a biggie around these parts, they closed down the entire town
and filled all the parking places with show cars. It took
almost an hour to get from the staging area across the river
and into town, so we were idling in traffic on a sweltering
September day for about an hour.
Surprisingly it wasn't all that bad in the cab since there
was a little bit of a breeze blowing.
