When I bought my '73 bus, it had an electric heater called "Back Seat Heat" bolted under the dashboard. The PO had two wires running directly to the battery under the interior carpet(s) and down via the access hatch! I promptly tore the whole shebang out and put it into a paper bag. I don't know if it works but I may need to try it out this Winter (if I ever get the bus going again). I think it had a ceramic element and one heat switch and a fan switch. -Erik.
