Thought someone else may want to know that I just put a heater in my 51. Pretty straight forward.
Used a Toyota 4runner rear heater unit.
Had to carefully bend the heatercore ends straight (come bent and was hitting where I have the battery box).
Cut a couple holes in the firewall where the O.E. heater hoses come thru the firewall(can see the oval spot to drill from inside the cab) and mounted the heater sideways. Just barely clears the glovebox box.
It's only 2-speed (had to buy a switch -30a - and fuse holder -25a). Dosen't crank out tons-o-heat being a smaller heater but suuurrre is an improvement over none at all. Has heater control valve already mounted to heater enclosure and can easily be controled by cable (also had to buy).
Plan to find a way to mount defrost hose - maybe heat riser hose from auto parts store.
Less than 50.00 and I now have a wife that dosen't 'shiver' at the idea of taking the truck out in colder weather.
it ain't YOURS 'till it ain't stock!
