What's the availability and cost of a complete gasoline heater kit for M-151? Friend had one back in 1979 and was mounted on rear fender behind driver and exhaust went through a hole cut in top of fender into the fender well. I see the newer version sets between the seats.

I think he has it confused with the M38A1 Arctic Kit it was mounted on the passenger side rear well...

I have one still in the box, three boxes actually. It is a pretty extensive installation and is designed to be installed with the hard top. I guess you could get by without the top vent but it will have to vent somewhere to prevent the heater from overheating.

Thanks for identification of what he had . He had a 4" hose held in the air from the heater to the front top bow and I thought at the time it didn't look right.
