I used a TropicAire heater from a WC-9 ambulance in my '49 B1PW. It has 3 fans and puts out pretty good heat. It uses 1-inch hoses to the heater core, too. The only drawback is the weak generating system, which can't keep up with the 3 fans plus the headlights at night. One of the fans is dedicated to defrosting the windshield. It's a great setup. I also use a small Coleman catalytic heater to supplement the TropicAire heater during real cold weather. It gets to -40 F here some winters, which is still warmer than Canada and Alaska get to.
