Looking for a heater motor, blower(squirrel cage) and housing for a 1949 f3 pickkup. Does anyone know of any sources for any of these parts? The blower motor can be 6v or 12v.
Thanks in advance.
Also have a 1929 model a roadster pickup for sale. It is disassembled and in rough shape. Original motor.
 
Yes it is the factory heater. the blower motor is mounted in the fender well therefore it is very rusted out.

@excalibur, There is a guy on the FTE Forum (48-56 section) that specializes in restoring heaters. Both Ford and Magic Air. He goes on an annual parts safari to salvage yards full of old vehicles. His user name is firstrider

I have no idea what his prices are but, he does a great job restoring them. I think he sells parts as well. He usually takes requests for parts before he leaves on safari too.

Good luck with your search!

48 f types also; those fender well heater motors did not fare well. best to up grade a bit later. Newc

That would be Denny Dahle in Florida. Reach him at koda06@bellsouth.net.
 
If the troble is just the elec motor, a local/regional electric repair shop should be able to rejuvinate it.
 
Thank you everyone for the help and info on the heater parts. I will try and contact the gentlemen in Fla for parts.
 
It was definitely not one Of Ford's better ideas to have a heater motor put under the fender.
I had a 48 Ford years ago with the same pbm. I went to junk yards to get a new motor and had a tin man remake an entirely new housing for it. He did an excellent job. terry
