I decided against the suburban 2nd row seat. Its not gonna work very well with my high hump floor. The center leg would have to be severely modified, and it probably wouldn't be able to roll forward. So I'm gonna keep my eyes open for a split bench front seat.
I've spent the last week learning how the later model HVAC controls work. They use electric servos to open and close the inner door instead of the cables. Since I'm not gonna have AC, all I need is fan, zone control, and temp. Heres the head unit I'm gonna use.
I'm gonna build a new face plate, and new dials if I can find them. Something that looks a little more period correct.
Today I worked on getting the servos mounted. I took some 12-24 capture nuts and used the soldering iron to melt them into the backside of the case.
Added some 3/4" nylon spacers and bolts.
I've still gotta build the linkage, and figure out how to mount the head unit.
