My 1946 Chevy 1/2 ton came with an Arvin brand heater. We dropped the core off at a radiator repair shop today, so now I need help with the motor.

We have no idea if it works or not and, frankly, we don't know much about it at all... Just that everyone thinks it's "cool" because they've never seen one. 😅

Any advice on how to obtain replacement parts, even if they're modern 'same as' parts and not vintage, would be greatly appreciated. I've listed everything that we know about it and I'd love to get it back in working order. TIA!
