If I had to guess, I'd say that's for a pickup. The passenger car is probably very different.

Pete, I based my statement on the fact that the diagram you supplied says : "1948-50". The pickups were basically the same over those years while the cars were not.

Yes, that is what it looks like.

That's a diagram for the 48-50 fresh air ducted heaters used in the conventional cab trucks.

That diagram is different. I’m trying to determine if a bushing or whatever goes between the heater core and the fan housing.

These files might be of some help? I can email Hi res versions if you need them send me a PM.

I just took one that looks like the photo apart, and was surprised to find three 5-6” sections of rubber hose between the heater core and the sheetmetal housing. The hose looked like sections of heater hose. I suppose I’ll try to reinstall with fresh sections of hose to keep things from rattling and rubbing, or come up with something more effective.

Interesting, I was going to use heater hose as bushing. I found the square spacer which traps the core when the cover is installed. If I took photos could have avoided the problem when assembling. Thanks for your help

Thanks for the info. Every little bit helps

My '47 heater looks like the photo posted by petehoovie. I'm in the process of restoring it. The photos posted by meric42 are quite helpful, but if he could email me the higher resolution photos he has, that would be great.
My other issue is, all the motor wires have been cut off at the wire cover plate on the back panel (Yikes!). Does anyone have a schematic showing what wires go to which points in the interior of the motor with corresponding colors for the 4 contact control switch?
Thanks

Third Gen in TN has the wiring harness for the heater and the diagram. P/N is 51A-18457.
Just did my 46 this summer with that harness.

Great! Then I need to know how to wire them to the motor!

This may help:

Thanks, FortyNiner. I'll be pulling out the motor today and try to determine which wire is which.
My fear is that the wires are unmarked inside the motor. On the outside, all the wires appear to be the same color!

Just took the cover off my 42 Mercury heater and didn't know what you guys were talking about rubber hose, bushing, pads, etc. Mine had nothing. Then, when I went to sandblast the cover on the underside or inside the cover itself were two hard rubber pads glued to the cover. They came off easily and pic attached. They feel like weatherstripping to me. After paint dries, I'll glue them back in place. One on each inside face plate on each side, not top or bottom,.

I own a ‘42 Fordor Super Deluxe and I’m thinking of finally putting a heater in. If you could send me HD versions of those diagrams I would very much appreciate iy

[FortyNiner]

I shared the only version in my possession.
