No, the '72-74 boxes are completely different; only Vanagon heat exchangers
will work.

Now that you mention it, though, I have one Vanagon heater box that was
ordered for a customer and never claimed.  I'd take an extra 10% off that
one, so $179 for one and $199 for the other. This would save you a few
bucks anyway. Was meaning to put it up on my Listmembers Only page
(http://www.busdepot.com/members.htm) but haven't had a chance to update it
yet.
