Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I didn’t care for the look of the Vintage Air blower and I was looking for some way to lower its noise level. I came up with this cover idea which did get rid of the ugly and it moved the blower frequency down a bit. Not sure how many db’s because I don’t have a meter. I drafted and printed out the cover and thru in a couple of LEDs to lite it up. Too dang much time on my hands!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Bob, Thanks! Those corner vents are from Vintage Air and they fit the cab dash nicely. I’ve been debating painting the mounts to match the dash and leave the center finish as is.
I also didn’t care for the Vintage Air below dash vents. I put in a center vent which needed a plenum to get by the wiper arms and the radio… very ugly. Then I drafted up and printed the lower vent with the “55” in it with some LEDs to back light that. Still way too much time on my hands!

Carbuff382, that panel cover looks sharp. Your interior looks really clean you've done a great job with it.
