There is also a gasket that is used with the heater install but not the block-off plate (I have seen a couple with it, but not all)? https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/15838946822/in/album-72157631868452754/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/8129439572/in/album-72157631868452754/ 1950 Chevrolet 3/4-Ton 3600 More pictures on Flickr

My heater opening covers had clutch head screws, but I do not remember if the threaded-end was like a screw or link a bolt. Am I dreaming (as usual)?

Rectangular heater delete plate inside the cab uses 1/4"-20 threads for a bolt. "I always win." Working mainly alone I do not let my trucks win a war. Maybe a battle here and there but never the war.
