Ranger,
One of the trucks i am looking at is an early truck with civilian dash. Are these nearly impossible to restore the gauges in. Or can the whole rectangelur piece be replaced with the military gauges?

Re: Ranger's New Look GMC
Hello Ranger,
The heater for the CJ's you are talking about is known as a Willys "Twin" heater. Two blower motors. Heck of alot better than the 1st series heater located on the upper left firewall. They claim it was only good enough to get the snow off you boots. My Brother installed a Willys "Twin" in his CJV-35 jeep years ago. Loves it. I myself am looking for a defroster motor for my WC-12. I have a Dodge WWII Ambulance heater installed but, I need the Defroster motor to pump the air up to the ducts to defrost the Windshield. A very hard part to locate.

Hi Ranger,
Thanks for the encouragement. You have a real nice looking GMC truck there. I'm a Dodge guy, but without but the Industrial might of GM, International, White etc, the outcome of WWII might have been different. We truly were the "Arsenal of Democracy".
