I am trying to remove a heater from a 1954 pickup. It is the type of heater depicted here:
53-55 Fresh Air HeaterThe problem is that I've removed all the mounting hardware that I can locate, yet I cannot get the heater loose. I am obviously missing something.
All hoses are disconnected. The thermostatic valve has been dismounted. The nuts have been removed from the two studs through the firewall. The three clutch-head screws on the side of the duct that faces the passenger have been removed. I cannot see or feel any corresponding screws on the opposite side of the duct toward the firewall. I can wiggle the whole heater slightly. If I tap on the studs from the firewall side, they deflect freely, then 'spring' back to their original position.
Any suggestions where the mystery mounting hardware is?
Thanks!
