Re: 1976 CCSB Duramax Project #trucknamedsue

as seen above, I ended up cutting out the outer and inner cowl panel on the passenger side. I'm using the haymaker AC from restomod. Its massive, and I didn't want it in the center of the dash. To make room, I pocketed the passenger kick panel and cut out the fresh air vent and everything. This opened up a ton of space.

nice box it arrives in-

ac evap mounts-





took a break on the firewall for a bit. The main big panel I wanted deep beads in, so I sent drawings to a guy out in Utah and he ran the piece on his pullmax. This took a little time. So I moved on to mounting up the condenser and the transmission cooler to the core support. Alot of tweaks to get this fit and behind the grill.



used an LML transcooler and will hang it off the bottom of the core support between the frame rails, behind the bumper.









I wanted to use the 2014 wiper motor so it worked with the 2014 BCM and such later, for 7 speed wipers. Made a bracket and adapter for this-



this machined adapter bolts with the motor and pokes thru the firewall in a grommet.



installed, you can also see the 2014 wire grommet hole I installed in the '76 firewall.
