That seems like it would be alot of work and fabrication. I, personally, would go the route of installing a powered outlet in the box area and buying/using a (fused) ceramic heater with a fan. Wire the the outlet on a circuit that only works when the truck is on (ignition circuit). But you have to pay attention to current rating of said heater and any circuit you apply it to.

Or, just buy som seat covers and let the pooch ride up front with you.
