The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Heater Question on my 1961

Now that I'm spending time in Oregon I need the heater to work better. It blows OK but not too hot what should I be checking? I think the heater core is new? Thanks

First question is this- Do you know how to use it?
Second question is, how many levers does it have? 2 or 4?
A decent 4 lever heater (deluxe) or a 2 lever(recirculating) should blast you right out of there on a cold day. But if the levers aren't in the right positions, then you're just movin' air. Here's another spot where an owner's manual would have you way ahead of the game.

4 levers- Heat/air/fan/defrost.I have an owner's manual. Now what?

check your antifreeze for starters. If its old you wont get heat

Have you felt the heater hoses to see if they are hot? That will tell you real quick if you are getting flow to the heater.

Good ideas! I do have heat flow it's just not hot.I'll check both items.Thanks
