How Many Parts??

[L5wolvesf]

Not sure the title here is quite right but . . .

First, I'm somewhat "thinking out loud" here.

I'm preparing to get some work done on my 55 so she can at least be driven. This is the oldest car I've owned, among a number of older cars. Several have been cars where parts are rare (not necessarily the case with the 55) so I tend to gather up certain parts/systems to fix up, if possible, or for individual pieces. For me this serves several purposes; some money savings and by working on a part/system, off the car, I can become familiar with it. This has worked out well for me over a variety of types of older cars.

I'm considering picking up some parts for the 55 to get various systems working. The heater for instance, is this something y'all do for a mid 50s Ford?
