What about the stock FJ40/FJ55 rear heater?

Howdy! Have you checked on JC Whitney's? They used to carry a variety of generic heaters. I take it you can't use the stocker behind the seat in the original position? JohnThat was my first thought... Unfortunately they are too tall
I don't know much about '55s, but could you not put a stock heater under the front seat and baffle it to blow backwards? It should fit under the front seats. Plumbing would be easier, too.

Yep, I really don't really care that much I guess.
JCwhitney has one that is 16x9x5 or 6 IIRC
33,000BTU and 250CFM. Two fans w/two speeds
It WILL drive you out of the rig in subzero temps

I'm sure this will fit. A bit pricy, but you could search for another distributor. Click on "Interior Accessories" then "Heating & Air Conditioning" then "Compact Heater with Defrost".

Summit Racing sells those for around $119.00.
I will be using the FJ60 heater in my rig for underseat/rear heat.

The soda can is for size reference.
(I figured shoving a soda can under your seat is easier than standing on your head with a tape measure.)

Length is 12" if you don't count the little mounting tab. It's on the left side of the picture.

bsevans, unfortunately, even if the BTB one would have worked, I'd set my Cruiser on fire and push it in front of an oncoming train before I buy a single bolt from them.
The heater they sell is a Vintage Air unit. I went to vintageair.com and found a local retailer and bought it from them for $80 less than BTB sells it for. I got newer improved version than the BTB unit, it is part number 506101 Mine is going in the stock location and not under the seat.
