If you have a good free flowing heater core and all of
your heater/defrost system is correctly hooked up, you
should have plenty of heat. I never had a complaint with
my '71 W200 I used to plow my property. I always had
plenty of heat and my windows were frost/fog free.

All things considered, my 67 will heat you out of the cab with the fan blowing full on.

What I do to a truck that has a bad heater, I make sure the fan is as close to the housing as possible with out rubbing when warm, takes a little trial and error. Other wise it will just recycle its air instead of pulling air through the heater core. Air will take the path of least resistance.
