Basically, just replaced the speaker in the center of the dash with a small fan.
It's not tied into any original ductwork, just a fan pushing extra air to the windshield.
Cooling fans you find in computers and electronic gear, or used to find at Radio Shack :( Make sure they're 12 volt DC. Tapped into a power source (like cig lighter) and put a toggle switch under the heater controls.
I took a speaker sized piece of thin plywood, cut a circle out of it, and screwed the fan to it. Painted the top side black so you don't see it through the speaker grille slots on the top dash. I just kinda wedged, glued, and screwed the plywood into where the speaker was. This was done while the glove box liner and radio were not yet installed. I figured if there was no speaker there, why not use the space and existing dash slots for a center air supply. I just remember the times driving down the road, peeping through the two circles of a foggy windshield, wishing I had more vision.

I don't know. I hate to "crow" about my own stuff...But folks seem to notice/like
my under $50 wood bed floor.

I didn't think it would last. But I think its held up over three seasons of
light-moderate use.

Tonneau cover in the winter ...and tarps before top soil or mulch
goes in the bed in the spring.

Probably MY favorite mod was buying and tapping the mouse for RAT's air cleaner.
I'm goofy.

Great idea with the carpet! That amp and speaker install is very clean and professional looking, good job. The floor matt install is top notch too!

I guess my best mod to date on my current project is this past weekend I stripped the short step side bed of all the wood, cut the bed, and made it 6 inches wider to cover my cab in chassis dually. As you know these dually's never had any bed on them so this was the best solution I could come up with as I really didn't want to plop a flat bed on there.
Sorry no pics here, I do have it documented in my build thread "Meet Homer".

My favorites are my Trex bed and cup holder. Nothing compared to the engineering & fabrication skills some of you all have but practical and fun to build.

Your truck is very well done! The stance is perfect. What power windows are you using? was the install hard?

Back in '84, before I found a factory 67-72 tach, I adapted a factory tach out of a 1965? C80.

I also adapted a factory tach out of a '75 V8 Monza, but it is long gone and I never took a pic of it.

Got this idea from a previous post. While I had my seat out to mount amp and speakers to the floor I added three layers of cheap carpet between the original foam and the springs. Firmed up the seat nice and more fun than dieting
