cranetruck will become famous soon enough

Replaced the South Wind personnel heater on the 8x8 with a Benmar heater, as called out by the TM for this vehicle. The Benmar does not use a wick, but a ceramic vaporizer and should be more reliable.
Sure enough, it fired up on the very first test run after having been unused for perhaps 15 or more years..hats off to Benmar.
The heater looks like the one shown in m-35tom's post above with the small red label and no military NSN or part number. From the TM it's NSN 2540-186-2558.
