    Just Bought 69 g10, it has the normal front heat but also has a rear heat setup that doesn't really look factory unless it was dealer installed??? Anyone have an idea if rear heat was an option? I have not had time to take any pictures yet but will soon.

    I guess someone was cold and put it in, might be pretty nice in the cold weather, I just need to make sure the box is good and everything put together good so no crazy leaks happen

    I have 2 rear heater setups for the Fords. I've seen them in an A100 also. Ford had a gas and also a hot water auxiliary heater. Both mine are the hot water style. The extra flat spot on front of the dog house is where the rear heat switch was located.
