There was a drivers side heater for the 2a available but I don't think that's it, looks way too big for that.

I've seen many different heaters in old CJs but never one like that.

1954 3B - mostly stock - fun driver and snow plowing
1957 - 6 cyl Station Wagon - hope for the future

past Willys
1954 3B - no tub | 1959 3B - engine in pieces in a box

Going to guess that is a a 40's or early 50's vintage truck heater, at least some of which worked very well.

I'm not specifically sure of the manufacturer's name, but similar looking aftermarket heaters made back in the late 40's and through at least the mid 50's had a nameplate of cast pot-metal in chromed script titled ARVIN fastened in the same area on the heater that you have pictured.

My dad installed a new one of these in our '52 Plymouth Cambridge, and if I remember correctly, he purchased it from a local Western Auto store.

Thanks ,I should have mentioned that it is mounted on the passenger side of fire wall alittle below the vin tag and it looks like a P.O. had it installed or did the job himself. Did all jeeps come with a heater or was that an option? Steve

Sorry to sound nostalgic, but the reference to Western Auto brings back lots of great memories. As a kid I loved going in there and looking at all the cool stuff they had. Now a days I get lost, my watch just stops, when I'm in Northern Tool, Harbor Freight, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Some Jeep models were standard with a heater.
A heater was optional equipment for all CJ-3B's.
