(Super Deluxe) The other two were GMC's easy to ID the heater says GMC on it, But the other is rather cool looking but has no name on it I can find !! Three trucks three completely different heaters ?

Second is a car heater prior to dash mounted control units in 1949 I think. These are also sometimes seen in Pontiac, Olds and Buick's. Third is an aftermarket, common brands were Firestone, B.F. Goodrich, Arvin, Montgomery-Ward and others. In addition to the first heater correct AD truck heaters are versions of these. http://www.flickr.com/photos/advance-design_parts_co/8129448404/in/set-72157631868452754Variations include color, doors, aluminum plate vs. decal, vents, and switches. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 11 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 11 | I think back in the day they just put whatever they could find in them, if there rig came without one ? | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 | I think back in the day they just put whatever they could find in them, if there rig came without one ? Back in the day they were optional and you could get one installed cheaper at Western Auto, Otasco or what ever your local store was than at a dealer. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 | That third heater is pretty cool. The dealer-installed AirFlow heater was the most expensive option on my truck ... $64.87. > scroll down- Lonnie
