Tropic_aire I.d.

have a tropic - aire heater , 8 in. x9 in. x 8 in deep . 2 small doors at front , metel flap at rear drivers side bottom , has a tag that says [special model for v/8 ford -- 21400 ABC . serial # 346339 ] i,m wondering if this is a fit for a certain year firewall re . firewall indentations , any thoughts . i haven,t come across this one before.

 

I'm guessing the only thing that would designate an aftermarket heater for one make vs. another is the carb spacer that went with it.

I'm also no expert.

still looking for any answers on this one , thanks dent

 

This is my tropic-aire. I just figured it was a general-purpose unit, but it has the doors you describe in the front. Here's a few old and restored photos of it. Sorry, I don't really know much about them otherwise. Can you post pics?

There were dozens of Tropic-Aire styles ... maybe a literature collector here can look it up it a catalog for specifics ...
