David -- The Arvin heater was on a lot of trucks back then, we had a '49 Dodge pickup with that Arvin.
Also the radio delete plate was pretty common on the farm trucks around here, not many had radios at all, just basic trucks for working back then.
I wish you the best in your project, looks nice to see a complete truck and something still original. They really were great transportaion at the time !!
