Alwaysworking · 03-13-2008, 11:08 AM

where do i find a good one?

farmer0_1 · 03-13-2008, 05:13 PM

my crew cab has a under rear seat heater. kinda thinking the rear ac out of a suburban can go under the other half of the rear seat.

Alwaysworking · 03-13-2008, 10:27 PM

what does the rear heater look like? or is it home made?

farmer0_1 · 03-13-2008, 11:07 PM

no its factory with a switch on the dash to turn the fan on. looks just like a steel box. used to see in older kw's and utility equipment. some farm equipment also. have to measure it but i would guess it is 8 inches tall and 14 square. just a guess. looks factory to me.

i am thinking of making one out of a factory heater core and fan, but i don't know yet.

farmer0_1 · 03-13-2008, 11:13 PM

i would i will try to get a shot of it but its nothing fancy.

Alwaysworking · 03-13-2008, 11:17 PM

okay thanks. i bet it helps warm the cab and clear the windows.

Alwaysworking · 03-14-2008, 12:19 PM

okay for the next thing i will be looking for is a cheap place to find 5 inch exhaust componets, any ideas?
i am going to try to run 5in. turbo back, should be easy with no t-case in the way.

got the cab and nose off today, also got the forklift stuck got it out though. cab it all gutted, well almost. anyway the frame is going to scrap tomarrow - a big section of frame.

new thought, we have a fsuperduty with a dana 80 rear and qould need a fron end but the one out of the f350 should fit nut it needs 10 hole adapters to work right since the fsuper has 10 hole.

farmer0_1 · 05-20-2008, 08:34 AM

in one of your earlier post you ask about five inch pipe. check with freightliner surplus in portland . pm me if you need directions.

Alwaysworking · 06-02-2008, 01:41 AM

well i think the plan has changed, we have a ford fsuperduty that at the moment we can use and the frame is about the right lengh for my crew so i will put the body on that frame, it has a d80 rear with disks but no 4x4 front so the one out of the f350 has to go in but then i need to find some small 10 hole adapters to match the ford wheels that are on the super duty.

Alwaysworking · 11-04-2008, 09:04 PM

again the idea is going to change,
i am now thinking of going back to the first idea of the f350, but now i want to use the dodge dana 60 front housing and put the dually hubs off the ford on it, will it work?
