Gasoline Heaters, 914's and buses Options

[Randal]

Did 914's and buses have gasoline heaters and if so where were they and how did they work?

Love to see a picture if anyone has one.

Corvair used a gas heater made by Stewart-Warner. For the first year, 1960, it was the ONLY heater available. Beginning in 1961 either the direct air heater or gasoline heater could be ordered. I think the last year for the gas heater option on the cars was 1962, though it soldiered on for the rest of the truck production (through 1965).
