Need some help again, been working on my cab and was wondering what I was going to do about wipers. Is there anything out there that I can make work? Got the old vac motor, but we all know how they worked. I've got 2 heater assemblies lined up, just got to get them and see which 1 is in the best shape. I don't have any of the duct work what so ever. I'm going to see what the 1 guy has this wk, if he doesn't have it all I might have to call on you guys and see what you have. Also, on the right side it has louvers on the outside and a plate with 4 screws on the kick panel, was a air vent available for these trucks to get outside air? My truck is a 51 and I guess that's it for now, I'm sure I'll have more later. I got to spend about 8 hrs on it this wk end, slow but sure. Thanks for all the help you've given so far.

Also, do they make a 12 volt heater motor for these trucks, or do you use some type of resistor with the original?

The heater draws air in through the right side louvers on the cab just ahead of the passenger door.

As far as the heater fan, LMC sells a voltage reducer to use to operate the fan on a 12 volt system. It wires in line at the motor. I think they do also sell a 12v motor as well.

The duct work is just some flexible metal tubing. I still need to get some for my 51. I saw on this forum somewhere that some one used shop vac hose, purchased at the local Lowes/ Menards/ Home Depot store.

I figured it was some kinda flexable hose but what does it fasten to at the defrosters? I have 2 holes in the dash and each has 2 screw holes to fasten something.

There are defroster "ducts" that are attached to those holes. You can get aftermarket ones that are made of plastic(ABS) and are junk - don't waste your money. Look around for the original metal ones. If you can't find them let me know and I'll try and dig out the name of the guy I got mine from.

Thanks Blue49, what's everybody doing for wipers?
