The head bolt type heater was the first attempt of the "Block" heater we know of today.
As you saw it replaces a head bolt.
They were sold through auto parts/specialty stores back in the day and were mostly owner installed,however depending on how well you knew you dealer salesman he could probably have it done for you after the truck arrived from Dodge.
No one makes them anymore but they do show up on e-bay and swap meets from time to time.
In the mid to late fifties they started making the heater hose,and lower hose types,along with the first frost plug(block) heaters.
This one was on my WDX from MN.
