As best I can recall it was a standard 12 volt resistor coil I think I got from JC and painted it black. John the truck has been finished for a a little over a year now but only has about 400 miles on it. It's just too nice to use the way it was meant to be used. You can see the restoration process and finished truck at
52GMC or on the Photobucket link. It is currently listed under trucks for sale on your website.
I have decided that I enjoy the restoration process and using my trucks as they were intended more than creating a "trailer queen" and showing them at car shows. So I have decide to sell this truck and move on to my next project which is a 1950 Chevy 1/2 ton that I use in my beekeeping operation. I have a write-up that I have been meaning to send to you to get the truck in the gallery but just haven't gotten around to it. I cannot tell how much the contributors to this site aided in its restoration.
