Hello folks, My hood flutters at 25 MPH and I am wanting to remove the heater in my 1953 1/2 ton Chevy Truck so that I can access the hinge bolts for the hood on the right side. any suggestions on that process would be very helpful
Wade - Which kind of heater do you have installed in the truck??? Air Flow Heater (aka Fresh Air Heater) or Recirculating Heater? Note that the "Air Flow Heater" pictured is like the 1947-52 units. 1953 original accessory Air Flow Heaters had an added feature which looks a little different.
Answer this and folks can better offer answers on heater removal to access your inside hood hinge bolts.

I have a fresh air heater and while it is a challenge I can access the hinge mounting bolts with the heater in place however I do not have the glove box installed.
