I’m guessing mine is a standard, the rectangle one.

Type this in your browser. A lot of listings will pop up. I doubt there were different heaters for the size of truck. The 2 T will be the same as the 1/2 T. The Standard and Delux probable used the same fan motor.

A squirrel cage is not a high tech component. "It's broke" tells us nothing. What is wrong with it? Many of us like to fix stuff. If you don't want to fix it, that's fine. If you have determined it is unfixable, then OK. I agree with Harold. No reason for Chevy to have a different motor or cage just for STD and Deluxe....and many years should work. Just compare the dimensions of cage and it's shaft hole size. Here you go..... CLICKThis is plastic. This May work for a metal one. Dimensions are very close to the first linked cage.
