This was a GM accessory heater (common to trucks), beginning in the late 40's (could even be a bit earlier) and continuing through late 1947/48 as the stocks were consumed. This same heater just used a name plate, color change for GMC trucks. It makes a last appearance in the Salesman Data Book in 1947/48.

This heater was available with/or without the defroster unit, that unit was also available separately through dealers. I went through my 1939, 41, 42, 46 Salesman Data Books (not mentioned or shown) I then went to my 1941 and 1942 Silver Books (great accessory sections) and the units shown (both Deluxe and Super Deluxe configurations) are like this.

Just for fun I checked the 1948 Silver Book and it appears there (no publication date).

Brad,
Thank you for your response. This heater was in my truck but I have located the correct unit for my 46 and have changed it out.
wanted to be able to correctly describe the heater when I sell it.
