1980 FJ40 / What date did rear heater change

[tstepp920]

I have a 5/80 FJ40. The console is missing. The heater for the rear is missing. I understand that rear heat was an option. Below are some photos of the existing piping at the firewall and into the front heater. It appears original. What are your thoughts? Did my 40 ever have a rear heater? If it is the piping at the firewall correct for the floor mounted heater. It appears to be correct for the console heater.

1980 would have T's right at the firewall to go to the pipes leading to the rear heater.
I don't know if the rear heater was an option, all the 40's I've had always had them.
the console heater would have been installed along with the other changes with the 1981 model year.

That's exactly what I thought. Looks like mine didn't have the rear heater option.

does it have the holes to mount it by the fuel sender access door?
