63 deluxe heater fan motor and fan discussion
First I want to say thanks to all that have been helping me on my slow going 1963 2500 project truck. Also sorry that updates from me can be sporadic, as all of you know life can get in the way of fun.
My next fun is tackling the heater blower motor and squirrel cage fan. The old motor and fan are in bad shape due to the heater core having leaked for who knows how long and the fact it was a grain truck ( the heater core and box were full of wheat/chaff/mouse/etc... ).
There is no saving the motor and the squirrel cage is not wanting to separate from the shaft, previous owner peened the end of the shaft. So I need options for replacements.
I have read quite a lot on the forum about this topic. I see mention of using newer motors and fans, 80' and 90's vintage motors and fans. Can anyone shed some light on this option?
