I always had it onto my mind to install an aftermarket unit in the rear that runs off the engine coolant. But I also have plans to tap into the floor heat box up front and run a duct under the front bench seat and take the defrost duct "Y" I have off the '89 to act as a distribution vent for the 2nd row floor area. Should work pretty good if I do it right. I need to find the right size square ducting or tubing to fit the 2 outputs on the center of the floor vent. The side outputs can handle the front floor and the center ones to feed the rear floor.

Rear was actually a factory option on the Burbs. I have an NOS GM rear heater kit that I've been meaning to install. It comes with detailed instructions, a template for drilling/cutouts, and it fit's Burbs and K5's. Probably can still find them on ebay.

Man you got just about everything laying around.
Yeah, I really need to go through everything and sell what I'll probably never actually use. I feel bad about the heater kit laying around though, it is supposed to keep my kids warmer in the winter.
