I don't know what that is, but i'm sure your toes will fall of if you drive this in the winter.

It doesn't get that cold here. I don't live in Siberia. You may be onto something with the comfort level, though...

No, i was referring to the cold.
Fortunately, i think i have found a heater that would work in that.

I'm not seeing any sign that they shipped with a heater at all, with listings for a '65 power wagon heater existing that *might* fit that, and an accessory heater they started offering in the 50's. If the 60's version would fit, it'd be dandy.
As you can see with this '49 Power Wagon, there aren't really any good places for it to be, save perhaps under the seats. Here's one as was close to period:
Surprisingly, this might be a worse setup overall than the "little Smiths" found in Land-Rovers and MGs and others:
At least in the US for our late 60s-73 models we had the option of the "Kodiak" capable of much higher capacity, and some larger Smiths truck models.

First, i'd like to say that the wheel in that first pic is beautiful.
Second, can you imagine driving a car in the cold of winter with NO heater?
I can, it's called the VX220. It's no fun. Oh, and peeing on the locks ... no fun either.

That does look cool, but personally I'd go for a Volvo Sugga

I've had to clear a several hundred meter driveway of snow with an open piece of construction equipment. More direct exposure, but not much of a wind problem.
Even a little heater can be helpful, as when I was small in the late 80s our family car was a Series IIa Rover with the "little Smiths" and we kids had to ride in the back. Brisk, but not miserable. Much better in my dad's pickup cab with a larger one. When my father was young, my grandfather developed the hack of installing a second Smiths for the rear passengers in the bed opposite the fuel fill.
Outside that, I've been in a CJ-7 Jeep in the snow with much too small a heater, and in a few vehicles with burned out blowers as well.

This is the actual heater pipe under the front clam of a vx220. Really, it is.
This is also why it doesn't work.
