Some notes on the Ford Heaters in this period

  • This 1948 - early 1951 Fresh Air - Magic Air has tubes with a 1-1/2" center-to-center
  • There are many types of heaters in this period; Fresh Air, Ford Script, Fresh Air - Magic Air and a recirculating heater.
  • The Fresh Air Hot Water heater used a Magic Air fan
  • The recirculating heater did not use the air duct under the fender. It just uses the air in the cab, or as the name implies, recirculates the air.
  • An accessory heater was also available and that was a recirculating heater also. It had 3 doors on the face and was from 1948-1950 F series trucks.
  • There are different versions of the Magic Air e.g. 1948-1950, 1951 and 1952.
  • The primary difference in 1951 and 1952 is the flapper door.
  • The 1948-1950 had a triangular control bracket and the 1951-1952 had a straight control bracket. Both mounted under the bottom of the dash.
