Heater missing

[emc53]

My next project is under the dash. Everything is missing so my question is what other studebakers are interchangable with a '53 coupe.[?]

To clarify...

You're asking what models used the same under dash climatizer defroster assembly? Are you also missing the heater motor in fender and heat core under floor?

I have the heater motor in fender and thats all.

The heater in a 1953 coupe is not under the dash. Are you sure that it is missing? The defroster was under the dash. the heater was under the seat. Of course this assumes that the car has an optional heater. I have owned some that were not equipped with a heater.

You can use the 6 Volt Fan Motor and Def. Motor and heat (Temp) control handle from any C or K body 1953 to 1955 Champion or Commander, and the switches from a '53 or '54 Champion or Commander, the knob style of each will differ however.

You can use all the rest of the ducting, Heater & Defroster cores, Def. splitter duct, boxes, hoses, Heater Control Valve etc. from any 1953 to 1962 C or K, includes Hawk.

The parts are all shown in the '53-'58 Studebaker Body Parts Catalog under Accessories. Available on CD Disc. or in Book Form.
