After-market heater choices?

I've been shopping for an aftermarket heater (shaved firewall) system and have been to VintageAir, so far. I'm a bit puzzled about what they have to offer that will work, given the space I have, plus don't know if there's any other companies out there to chose from.

I would like blown heat provided to the cab and dash vents. I am not shopping for AC.

Been there/done that? Pics/links/installation would be awsome...

Thanks, ET

That one sounds pretty good. Have you researched prices and will it sit hidden under our dash?

Re: After-market heater choices?

Any more choices than these? I heard there were many heaters, even those available at common parts stores, out there but now that I'm looking...

No clue to what the fit or price. Just cruising the web a few months back and came across them. Thought it might come in handy when I get to mine. I would think that the other aftermarket ac places would have only heaters also.

Re: After-market heater choices?

vintage air makes a terrific heater, easy to install, about 149.00.
