A question, o gurus of gas heat: My notch (65) has a BN-2 in the spare tire compartment. It has a very cute little tailpipe exiting below the front suspension, and 2 very meaty (and once, but no longer insulated) pipes ducting heat along the top ridges of the fenders (yes, outside the body) and into the laps of driver and passenger. This looks REALLY stock- even the punchouts (those ovals to either side of the spare tire compartment) look like they were stamped before paint. Was this stock? If so, how common was it? What countries got this thermal behemoth? I'm curious!
