FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

IF
you can find who made it would help to finding's what car it would be for,
any names or numbers on it,?
being it has a V8 on it I doubt it is a after marker part,
why would you buy it if it had a V8 on it and owned a 6 cylinder, it limits sales off the get go,
if is nice ART DECO, so should be for a car in that era,
hope this helps 37Ragtopman Maine

First it is not a Ford script heater. The fact it has V8 on the doors is not the same as Ford script which is the name Ford in script. Aside from that I have a 42 heater and it has no name anywhere on it but according to the 41 to48 Ford book it is a Ford authorized heater. I have seen either physically or in pictures other Ford authorized heaters of the era. None look remotely like the one in pictures here. Since Ford and probably other car manufacturers of the era did not factory install heaters,it left it open to the dealers to install Ford authorized heaters and others to fill the aftermarket requests. The heater here was probably sold by Western Auto or a similar company.

So it has V8 on both doors doesn’t make it Ford script. Ford is not the only V8, and this heater wasn’t made for any specific car company anyway. The term Ford Script refers to the name Ford in a patented script font style, usually in a blue oval. The term V8 has been used by other car companies, and is in the public domain.

I don't see any "Ford" script anywhere. It certainly was not original for a pre-49 Ford hot water heater which had a 4 wire motor (2 speeds forward and reverse).

I see that now. Actually, I never visit the individual forums, preferring to hit the “Today’s Active Discussions” button on the main Forum page.
You shouldn’t refer to your heater as a “Script” heater, as that implies that it is Ford, which it is not. Yes, it is old, and most likely an aftermarket. There were companies that specialized in hijacking the fame of other companies, and certainly not just of Ford.

One in General and one in trucks. I would think different people might look at different forums.

Ooops. Two posts same question? Do you expect different answers?

I have a Ford V8 script heater. Just wondering what it went in? The heater looks brand new, like it has never been installed, fan works. The V8 looks like it was at one time painted black. The doors are chrome. Paint looks new, not restored.
