Your truck will have a "peddle" (foot button) above the gas peddle that is where you step on the starter.
There is no electric solenoid. It is a manual actuator. Unlike the truck above yours with a start button.

Ken,
I don't know how much history you can find on the truck, but the red rims might have made it a fire truck at some point in time - or it could have been a truck from RH Boulighy who had a repair facility over in Pensacola, Florida. The little heater box under the dash screams out saying...

Ken,
I can already see that truck in all its glory. The sheetmetal is in amazing condition considering that it has been out in the weather all that time. Already pretty, but she is going to be a beauty for sure...

Dang that was neat!
I like it... That little Detroit is so cool and weight wise - I bet it wasn't awful. Air, oh my! Heck, I thought I was cool with a pair of air tanks and a schrader valve was neat. Real air and air brakes for a trailer would be incredible.
Let's gather the parts for...

I would love to have them. I am working toward having one or several. Really want to talk to you about the possibility of a 40kva 3 phase service I have here at work. It would be a real plus to have that juiced up with a generator...

Well... I can't offer up close or a close-by offer for a personal visit.
The best I can offer is a warm "Welcome To The Outfit".
Maybe if we stir the traffic a little, somebody will drop you a line. I know we have quite a few members up there... Maybe searching...

No doubt that the diesel fired heater would be better!
The fans in these trucks are pretty sad. The part that I remember from days gone by is that the "stock" heater sucked a lot. We would rip those out and replace them with a little cube about 10x10x10 inches (roughly). The blower motor in...

That's interesting @DaneGer21 ... I didn't know that POR15 had a tank sealer.
The 1929 Model A that I have needed that problem solved. The sealer that son and I used is still as clean as it was the day we did that piece of work... It gets inspected regularly because - to be honest - I...
.
@royalflush55 and the mention of a leaky airbox around the core might make a big difference and @ssdvc 's mention of cold blooded diesels is "the gospel" for sure.
My only contribution is to suggest that you were on to something when you mentioned a restriction on or at the heater core. A...

There is a post somewhere on this site where somebody had found a sealer for fuel tanks. POR15 (as I understood it) was or is a rust remover. The second part after you remove all the rust you can is a sealer. I think the sealer was called Kreem possibly?
