Matt,
I have a rear heater that came out of my '87 Syncro Westy that you can have.
You would need to find out if it is the same as the one in your bench for
your '84.
BD lists only "heater core" 867819121A for both the '84 and '87. But that
may
be the front. It's the one for $91.12. Maybe contact Ron at BD and as, then
get back
to me and if they're the same I'll ship this to you.
