Okay since I decided to add ac & screwed up the heater setup I had. I have been regretting it. This topic of heat has come up plenty. I will be mounting Hair Dryers one on each side. Still deciding on wiring them together or separate. Anyone think both will be to taxing on the electrical system? They heat up quick so will not be run for to long a time. Just to help defrost the windows & get some heat in the cab at the opportune moments. Some may think this a bit on the Goofy side but it's a cheap easy thing to try. So why not

Jamie, if you go with that Vintage Air unit there is no cutting, drilling or other alteration to your OEM knee pad. And it is very close to stock in appearance. I did modify the 914's ducting so that I could use the defroster with the new AC/Heat. I discovered 2 things. 1) The fan isn't powerful enough to push much air thru all that ducting. 2) More importantly I found I do not need the defroster because my AC/Htr conditions the small cabin so quickly. Someone mentioned seat heaters; best thing since pockets on a shirt. I only use my heat when my with is with me. You can still hit me up for those tools when you add AC.
