This was normal for the downscale heater that recirculated inside air. There was one control, a fan speed control, that mounted opposite the ash tray where the deluxe heater controls go otherwise. Th

If your wrench happens to touch something while it is on the negative lead, nothing will happen. If it touches something while on the positive lead with the negative connected you will get fire. This

This may be too simple. The local Fleet Farm has a battery trickle charger (1 amp max) for about 20 dollars and a 24 hour plug in electrical timer for about 5 dollars. I set mine for about an hour a

It would help if you identified your truck's year and make/model somewhere. Don't know what year you are talking about, but my '57 factory service manual covers it in great detail, starting on page 7

As long as you change the radiator cap to one that doesn't vent a vacuum direct to outside and has a correct pressure rating, the overflow tank can be just about anywhere on the truck you want. Bruce

It's not the pressure from the water pump that will burst the core, it is the static pressure buildup from the high temperature and the relief valve on the radiator cap. 15 PSI will burst the OEM rad

I believe the 1057 bulb is the 6 volt version of the two filament 1157 12 volt bulb used in most rear turn signals. You should be able to get it at any good auto parts or farm implement store. I used

In 56 and 57 they were an option. Don't know how far that went back. If you have the turn signal lever in the cone shaped housing right below the steering wheel, you have them. Bruce Kettunen 57 3200

The 57 assembly manual shows sliding glass windows, both windows, both sides. My dad's '59 with tailgate, a former government truck, had them too. Must have been standard back then. Bruce Kettunen 57

It's really just a clear grease. Even a good coating of bearing grease as the cable is pushed into the sheath will help. It will be much easier to get the cable in and out if you unhook the sheath, p

It won't do any good in Minnesota where we call them defrosters, but depending on where you live, they make small 12 v fans, available at FLAPS, that can be blown on the windshield. Lots of the oletr
