hot water heat

[Gino]

The water pickup is located on the top hose, with a new pipe adapter that is cut into the existing hose. You can see this kit in SNyders Catalog. I fabricated a piece of sheet metal and installed it in front of the radiator. When the salt clears from the roads, I'll give it a run. I do drive this Model A Pickup nearly every day, but once they salt the roads I don't drive it till it rains quite a bit, so It is not terribly important to have heat all winter. But I do like to experiment with this truck as it will not be a show piece as long as I own her. Don't hate me I love this truck more that my right arm and take very good care of her. Thanks and sorry to be so long winded.

Forget the winterfront.
You MUST have a thermostat to create pressure for the heater inlet hose.

I just slipped a 2" thermostat in the top hose and keep it in place with the barbs cut from a 2" plastic male hose connector that I bought at Menards. A piece of rubber hose slipped inside the top hose can also hold the stat in place.
