Hot Rod Heater

Last winter a big issue I had with my truck was that it did not put out hardly any heat. Since it is my daily driver, that is a problem. I would also like to smooth out the area of the firewall with the heater core and blower motor. To acomplish both goals I am thinking that a small hot rod heater is the ticket. Has anyone used this heater from Summit before?

Re: Hot Rod Heater

The defrost doesn't work any way so I'm not concerned much. I learned how to drive in the winter on a 63 Corvair, the word "defrost" does not exist on that car. Plus if I need one, I should be able to route a hose to the vent from this unit.
