Heater Box Replacement?

As I was removing the interior of my '54 to clean it up and redo the seats, I found a nice puddle of antifreeze below the heater. At some point the PO installed what I believe to be a later model 12 volt fresh air heater. It doesn't really fit that well and it is not stock, so I was thinking of replacing the whole unit. Has anyone found a nice compact replacement from another donor vehicle? I am looking to do this a inexpensively as possible so I can save my money for those sway bars ! Thanks in advance

P.S. If there is a break in the rain today, I'm going to get some pics in a gallery with my new digital camera.
