Re: Adding A/C and heat

I apologize. I should have been more specific. I used the factory style louvers everywhere in the dash. I prefer that style. I found an old, un-usable round or side vent at a swap meet or pull-a-part, not sure where. I trimmed the plastic on the rear of the vent (where it connects to the hose) down so I could scribe an outer mark where the trim fit the dash flush, and then cut the hole to fit. I simply prefer the factory style vents. The factory center vent comes with a template, the side ones did not. I later found a template on this website, but don't remember where. And yes, I bought the engine, vintage air, everything while doing metal work on the cab. I have the luxury of it not being my daily driver, so it was easier for me to do it that way.

Hope it helps. You could always get the vents installed before you put the unit in. I don't think they were very expensive. And, the Vintage Air ductwork hooks right up to the factory vents. Or, likely, any vent you choose.

Again, good luck and have fun with your truck!!
