My recently acquired 54 has been converted to 12 volts, and came with no heater. I am inclined to install an OEM unit rather than the aftermarket one, but how do I deal with a 6 v heater motor in a 12v truck?

Agree with Bill's suggestion. I got one of these 12v fan motors back when I converted to 12v.

Check your 6v motor shaft size before ordering a 12v replacement. I believe that there are 2 different shaft sizes (I ran into this problem with my heater rebuild/conversion).
