would there be a picture, yours or otherwise, or a drawing from a manual etc, of the dash that would show the parts of the heating system? knob placement/temp control mech/defrost etc

Nate look through my reference photos there are several good ones. The best drawings I have seen of the heaters etc. are in the accessory manuals the one for 1950 has a couple good drawings. The knobs etc. go to standard locations that are pre-drilled or stamped in the dash underside.

Here's an installation manual but it is not as nice as having photos.

Here is a picture from my original 1949 1/2-ton truck of the heater set-up with temp rod/capillary tube and their original locations. Second picture is the other side showing a 2,116 mile original truck set-up for the defroster knob and the fan switch. All of these holes exist under the dash you just plug and play.

thanks gents - the manual and pics make it

being a southern truck, s. amer and tx, it never had a heater. and now the holes under the dash make sense
