Sorry about the oops the Seahawks did today....
Those old GMC furnaces no matter what the brand are great for heating your garage. Just cut a hole in the side of your garage to mount them with everything but the face plate outside and enjoy the warmth. Most are 30,000 top 40,000 BTUs which is enough to heat most garage spaces quite well. Hook up a 20 pound propane bottle outside and run any kind of 12vdc line to the unit. Way better than the overly loud "construction" torpedo style units. If your garage is really tight, then don't do this as you could still emit co into your garage. But, for most applications this will work just fine.

Great, something else to buy LOL. I appreciate the info, how would I go about checking that, and what would (yuck) need to be bought.
LOL, Jared

G'day,
Better yet move to someplace where you don't need a furnace! ;-)
Right Ken?
