David,

I have a heater under the rear seat in my '86 syncro doublecab.  Doesn't
look very stock.  Not anything like the heaters in my Carat and Westy.  I'll
try to take a couple of pics and put them on my web page.

I have always planned to cut the heater hoses and add a hot water tank
instead.

Really glad to hear about your planned restoration!

'86 Syncro Doublecab, eurospec i4
'90 Carat, SA treatment
'91 Syncro Westy, Cinerama
