Hi Randy,

I know of the Harrison Heater, as it is the type that was installed in my Willys. �There have been others that are more square shaped. �The Harrison is shaped like a kidney I guess. �Below is a photo of mine. �It is disassembled and ready to be cleaned up. �This is a photo of the back side. �This was installed up under the dash on the passenger side.

Here's a picture of the heater on the drivers side of my 54 3B. It has small doors on the front and sides that you open and close to control the heat.

Wow, my heater looks nothing like those...and I assumed it was OEM because it used the knock-outs on the passenger side of the body.  Mine has a control flap that let's you direct the heat to either the passengers feet or over to the drivers.  It's a square heating coil, maybe 8"x8" motor on top with a shroud covering it.  I'd attach a pic, but the steps needed to attach a pic are maddening...

In order to post a pic it must be hosted someplace, like Photobucket.
