If Fox had some doors repro'd, those Dyna heaters could make a nice substitute.

My 25 sleeps through the winter so I'm all set.

I can get'em repop'd in aluminum at the foundry my dad works for (and I used to, too...). Can't front the cash but I can do the leg work and maybe build the tooling...

Need detailed pictures of the parts with rough dimensions before I can go talk to them. If I had the parts in hand it would be even easier...

Too funny. So who has a line on rear heaters out of Dyna Coaster busses to convert?

Mike, does the back of your heater have two small ports for defrost hoses? I have one like yours that has been painted black. Two ports for defrost hoses in the back but no vents in the windshield????

I love it when I spot an unobtainium part that will interchange with a part from an equally rare vehicle. Don't let any of these guys steal our heaters. ND heater in an Auto Union (pre-Iltis)?

Those are early Cutlass hubs, They're a pretty decent hub and have the right old style look.

I dont Know yet steve about linkages, I will post the pic today sometime later also never looked into size of wheels also will let you know.

All I know currently they are running 31" tires on them. which I wanted to change and switch to stock set up, but right now my budget is helping me to not to think about that.

But On the other hand, I kinda started liking these big tires and those wheels, they look cool on my rig.

If this is in the 25 it may have installed by a dealer but the radio doesn't look like it's from 1959. The old car radios didn't have a slide control for the volume just a knob. Plus I thought the tone control came later. I guessing this is out of a mid seventies Toyota. Was Toyota using ten digit part number in 1959? The dealer should be able to help you find out when the radio was made having the part number.

ya, not sure if it was installed in '59, but it qualifies as a dealer installed option in this instance.
