I have a 37 gmc 1/2 ton. The heater in it has eaton stamped on the back and no other markers - it's a three door model with two doors that open sideways and a bottom door that opens up.
My questions:
Could this possibly be the dealer installed heater? I know chevy trucks had badging on their heater.
What have people used to repaint the heater fins?

A large percentage of trucks in that era had aftermarket heaters. I imagine they were a lot cheaper than a dealer installed one. | | |
