I put one that looked just like that in my CJ5 when I rebuilt it back in 1980 -Almost thinking I ordered it from JC Whitney!

It had one leak. Then he acid flushed it and another one came up. He was able to fix it.

Seems to be quite the variety, many Willys branded though. This one's in my '55 plow truck. I need to get a better picture though.

Not really a Willys heater but this is a cool looking vintage and uniquely designed heater .
Used a gas line off the carb and a vacuum line to the intake manifold .

That thing has to cook. Reminds me of VW gas heaters.

I have one of these and obviously won’t ever install but certainly a conversation piece

Here's what came with my '49 truck. It's missing one of its "barn doors," so if anyone out there knows where I can get one I'd appreciate it!

Hey Ken....
funny you mention the South Wind gas heater......we had one of those in our....
Current COVID-19 Project.......or Project -19
1954 Dodge Power Wagon.....Radio Communications Command Vehicle.....Canadian 251 inline 6......3 speed Tranny.......NP200 T/Case ... 5.83 gear ratio......( Yeah and you thought our Willys were bad with 5.38's......you want slow..??....i'll show you what slow is..!!.... )
.... 1000 were built for Canadian Army......900 to Canada.....100 to US Army....
one of 7- 8 known left to exist on the survival roster....
inside the box showing the heater ...........
......
this was a 24v South Wind gas powered heater...that had a separate fuel line from the carb back to it .....
.......
....
part of the regulator and gas valve ....
........
the box it came out of........ (remains one of several inhabitants nest that were located throughout the truck ....)
....
....
this has all since been removed during current conversion to overland style camper destined for all 4 corners and Alaska....or Bust...!!.
who in their right minds say hey lets put a gasoline powered heater bomb in the back where high ranking offical people are to keep them warm while traveling during the brutal Canadian winters.......yeah great idea .!!....nothing could possibly go wrong with doing that !! ...WTF folks ...like to meet the guy who came up with that one .....WTF were you thinking..??. just could not put a large industrial electrical heater box in there...
i would like to see what would happen if they tried to get away with doing that today..

Here's mine after a refreshing. See post #2 on this thread for the before. Made the "front door" from an old license plate hammered over a piece of wood cut to fit. First attempt was OK, made worse by drilling handle holes in the wrong place, now that I'm more experienced, I'll try again.

That truck is a beast Larry ! Pretty cool it has one of those heaters also . I guess the selling point was they provide heat pretty quick . The ad stated 90 seconds for the 6 volt model.
