Hey guys, I'm looking for a small heater/defroster for my truck. Because of my large engine cover, I only have a space about 9"wide x 11" high for it. Looking for a hot water type, preferably a junkyard unit(cheap). Any ideas? I did a search on the main hamb board, but didn't come up with much.
Think electric heater and yes I did read you want a water type but electric is small and compact. Not sure if I can help you in Montana but I sell them in the hundreds here.
EZ, Get one designed for a Fork Truck, I forgot the name, I put one in my '29 tudor years ago,was surprised to find out they are still available, $148.00. I painted mine with wrinkle finish black, cause they look real commercial. Google: Fork truck heater. they be little w/ defroster/heat.
I bought one for the wife's roadster from So Cal Speed Shop. Small, hot water, fan built in with three outlets. You'll have to provide the ducting, of course.
I just grabbed one off the shelf while I was there (Las Vegas), I think it was $150 and a medium blue hammertone finish. I don't do Pinterest but this popped up when I googled it... https://www.pinterest.com/pin/426645764672857005/ Here's another on eBay but it's already sold: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361157623813 Here's a similar one for cheaper... http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAR-AND-TRU...ash=item41a09867bb:g:R7cAAOxydgZTKgzK&vxp=mtr
I'll take measurements and photo in morn . Have a small original that came with my 42 , if interested it's yours for shipping . See you in morn , Blue
Wow, thanks guys! I'm more in need of the defroster than the heater......with the engine right there next to me I may have more heat than I need.
So it's old but cool . Fan would need replacing and I don't know about the core . If you want it pm me your address and if you don't I think gentry wants it . Blue
That is a really cool old heater, I've never seen one like that. I will p*** though, it's not exactly what I need.....but thank you very much for the generous offer!
