Thanks guys.
Brad, I really do appreciate the education. I believe what I have, although not correct, is a much better looking heater than what is presently in the truck. I know my truck will never be exactly period correct but I do want it to look good when I finish, at least to the untrained eye. I believe I can make the cable work too and then I will not have to bend down under the dash to flip the switch.
Martin,
The reason I asked why the post was moved is because of the following statement.
General Truck topics, including, but not limited to:
wiper blades
Accessories
Visors
Heaters
Towing topics other than electrical related
Emblems
Speedometers
Bumpers
Decals
Updates on your project progress
... and more.
I am trying to be careful to do things correctly because I believe this membership to be a true privilege and something to be cherished. This post included information about my "heater" and "updates on your (my) project progress". I would not have made near the progress I have made so far had it not been for the vast amount of information I have been able to get from this site.
I am finally able to move my truck now, but I have been accumulating parts along the way as I find them reasonably priced. I will be posting updates on my progress in the proper forum soon.
Again, thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way in this process.
