The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Harrison heaters in GM/GMC trucks

Going OT but it more than just 'information kits'.

The provide NO INFORMATION WHATSOEVER. NONE.

The dirty secret is that the military trucks are pretty much direct descendants of the 41-42 civvy trucks (the first batches had civvy gauges and still sported chrome).

The line we get is that GM is a civvy car company, and to provide wartime info would hurt the PR image that GM has. Yes, this is the official line.

I'm sure that some big money collectors probably got more that what I could... but go ahead, email Heritage and ask. Don't be surprised that you get nothing (I mean NOTHING) back.

As for the heaters:

I can't find anything on the 40's Harrisons. Most of what I can find is based on 1948+ Willys CJ2A production where they were a factory item for a few months, then dealer installed.

I can't even find any historical info on the Harrison company.
