Nothing to do with propane heater:

"The person who did the conversion wanted to be able to shut off flow to the heater core, so the center panel thats right in front of the shifter has been lowered and has a shutoff valve coming out of it."

The PO just didn't know that he could stop the coolant flow to the front heater by putting the valve shut off behind the plastic cover, left and behind the glove box.
