Re: Staying warm in winter
I too ride (my motorcycle) year round and have a full compliment of electric gear. It works great and that is a pretty good idea. However, if you are just looking at a vest, Milwaukee tools makes a jacket with a built in heater, much like the electric vest that I have for the bike. It works off of a 12v battery. Theyre a bit pricey, about $200 at HD. My first vehicle, '65 ford pickup had no heater, I just toughed it out in the winter and kept the girls close by!

Do what you have to do, but please don’t cut any holes in the firewall.

Re: Staying warm in winter
I have seen some nice 12V SMALL in-cab hot water heaters that would be easy to put in an "A". They are mostly intended for small spaces like skid steers, etc. Worth looking into.

Re: Staying warm in winter
In the good old days we made possum blankets.

Re: Staying warm in winter
I drive my roadster in the mild winters of SC and came up with this blanket that captures the engine heat. Works pretty good.

Re: Staying warm in winter
Although I have a exhaust manifold heater and it works great you are fighting the cold put off by the cold soaked gas tank.
