It was an auxiliary heater but I can't say for sure, but it looked similar to the one you show. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 | looks to be out of a Devco milk truck.I have the same thing mine

I beleive it is a model 356 heater made by Hupp in Cleveland,Ohio.The front cover on this one is chromed, I found it in a parts box in the 551st when I picked it up. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 112 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 112 | I had one of those in a 49 Willys pickup.

I'm new here, I live in Gold Hill, Oregon, and I love anything mechanical - Especially Chevy's. I have what I believe to be a 1936 Chevrolet Pickup, which I am going to restore.
Hope to be swapping ideas and information with you all.

Love the little doors you can open to direct the air. Click on my photobucket link and find the picture of the interior of my truck and you will see the heater. The name on mine is "Gabriel Heaters".  | | |
