Re: 1955 early 1956 heater box pictures

Re: 1955 early 1956 heater box pictures

i disassembled a 55 heater assembly two months ago and offered to send you pictures of each part. since you did not send me your email address i put it back together. if you want different views of an assembled heater assembly out of a car i will again offer to send you pictures if you provide me with a email address

Joe is is ok..i didnt get your email for some reason. If you have the pictures they may be useful for thers too. paste them to this thread for others too. i am sure someone else will ask what a real 55 heater is supposed to look at.

Where is the pressboard box you were talking about?

Re: 1955 early 1956 heater box pictures

Re: 1955 early 1956 heater box pictures

Hi Bryan,
The pressboard box it the defroster part of the assembly. If you recall you looked at mine when you were at the house.
Good luck, Mike Anderson (317)729-2418

Re: 1955 early 1956 heater box pictures

bryan, do early 56s have the boxed in area for the heater in the engine compartment like later 56s, or is the area smooth like a 55? if smooth, i could see the pressboard box that is used in later 56s fitting into a 53-55 heater assembly if the plenum on the 53-55 heater assembly is removed. only problem would be that the screw area that would normally hold the pressboard box to the heater assembly would be hidden by the 53-55 large heater box. instead of a screw facing the passenger seat a screw would probably have to come from under the assembly to hold the two pieces together. you need to locate a early 56 survivor to see if there is a pressboard box.

gary
i was told that it just utilized the 55 heater...

Re: 1955 early 1956 heater box pictures

John
as i stated to Gary i was told it used a 55 heater...this is getting pretty unclear just when i thought i knew what i was going to do...Gary has an earlier model.
i really am not sure, i did get a picure of another early 56 and it sure did look like the 54-55 heater ....
gary
if you have any picures of the pressboard box i would appreciate it..I may be coing thru Indy in the spring mayhaps i will see if you are around..

Re: 1955 early 1956 heater box pictures

bryan, i seen gary's picture of the heater, but it appears to be on a restored car. you will have to ask gary if he is sure that it is the original heater. his is exactly like a 55. mike anderson, with car number 10, states his has a pressboard box. find out how original his car is(he left you a phone number.) in the meantime i will send you a picture of a pressboard box and the section of the heater assembly that it bolts to.
