I just bought a 1981 Datsun 720 and while I love the truck I live in Canada and the heater is not blowing (It's winter and I'm freezing) I'm hoping it's just the fuse for the heater fan but I'm missing the cover for my fuse box does anyone have a picture of one so I can figure that out before I have to start tearing out the heater motor and stuff ?

good luck getting the fan out, but the motor is simple to replace. They glue the screws into place around the housing, thus making it real easy to strip the screw heads. When I finally got it off, I found a mouse's nest from all the batting in the roof material in there.(my truck sat on a farm for awhile before I got it) After that was removed, It works great. You may just have a pen or something down in there, since it is not a strong motor, it could just be jammed.

Will need to keep that in mind .. the fuse thing didn't work lol. It's -20 almost every day right now so it's becoming more and more of a priority for me to get it blowing (there is heat coming out just no blowing). Now to find out if it's the fan or the switch .. fun fun fun

I bet its neither. There's a 4-pin connector under the dash near the controls you should look for. Pull it apart - clean and tighten the connections. Chances are you just have a bad ground.
