    I'm putting AC in my 60 Chevy wagon and it'll mean removing the original heater box which will leave plenty of room to tuck the unit away however I'd still like to have heat, I'm looking for a small aftermarket unit that I can install over the trans hump or behind the glovebox. Thanks in advance.

  3. What are you going to do to defrost/defog the windows? You might want to just use a combo heat/AC unit there.

    Speedway sells a small unit, "Mojave universal heater" for under 200 bucks.
    has defrost tubes too.
    Put one in my sled works real well.

    Vintage Air make some nice compact combo AC/Heater units that will fit under the dash. I used their compact heater (without AC) in my 1948 GMC for heat and defroster. I took apart their switches and fit the switches into some factory holes on my dash that were originally for the choke and manual throttle.
     
  6. I used a Vintage air for a A ford its around 28 long and 7 high by 3 deap would heat the 52 very nice has a duck for the defroster

    get a heater for a C/K '53-64 studebaker, they mount on floor under seat and the defroster unit is small and works great, a warm butt is great when it snows.

    It's some unit I bought off a fella on here, it was cheap, I coulda spent the $1300 for the Vintage Air custom fit job but the car's a heap undeserving of such finery.

    I'll look into your ideas, thanks. the Mojave thingy looks good.
     
  10. we just installed a small under dash unit from vintage air. easy install, super simple wiring, bi-level control.
