He has a ton of pictures of heaters HERE. If he doesn't show up here soon, send him a Private Message and point him at your thread. [on edit] Here's another of Brad's photos showing a fresh air heater installed. Looks like the control cable is in the hole punched in the dash toward the right side, and the valve control just below that and clamped on the bottom of the dash.

This is a 7k mile fire truck. https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/15295057304/in/album-72157631870734114/ Factory look. https://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/17037284497/in/album-72157651722976780/ I know a couple vendors carry them, they come a bit long so you can trim to fit. I don’t have one handy to measure. 1950 Chevrolet 3/4-Ton 3600 More pictures on Flickr
