Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside

Condenser and fans are all buttoned up including wiring. Rather than making more mounting brackets to make side mounts, I managed to use the plastic slide-in tabs that came with the fans and top mount. They lined up with the condenser's top and bottom flanges. All I had to do was drill some new holes in the flanges.

I managed to maintain the 1/4" gap between the condenser fans and the back of the grill. From this perspective, it is hard to believe it actually fits behind the grill.

Decided to go through louvers with my refrigeration hoses. I removed one louver using my pneumatic body saw. I find that this tool is generally useless compared to my other more aggressive tools. If you are not in a hurry and you have a tough reach, it's the go to tool. Plenty of room below my overflow tank for the hoses and I'll protect the hoses by lining the hole with something I can slide over the metal edges and clip into place. I'll take a look at door seals off of a wreck. I experimented with a split rubber hose but it was not secure.
