Of course, if you are a collector of vintage MVs, it's just fun to install/play with the accessories even if they aren't actually used.

just had to reply to this

thought long and hard about kit before selling it,the heater unit uses gasoline,hangs under the drivers door,floorboard,has alot ofthin wall tubing,and uses the engine coolant circulating through the sealed boxes to heat the batteries,main reason for selling,look at my posting on this thread "stupid moves",and " its not the heat , its the stupidity",my truck is not an asphalt queen ,i would just ruin a rare accessory for these trucks with my "driving technique",glad it went to some one who will take better care of it than i would,the only bad thing about trail riding a deuce is it takes about 2 hours under neath it with a presssure washer so when you HAVE TO WORK ON IT,you can actually see what you broke,like a little kid ,i just cant say no to a mud puddle,creek,hill,bog, well you get the picture,to quote a famous saying,"HEY MAN WATCH THIS S@#*, long live our gmcs,work hard ,play harder
