Kel sent me the new and improved AC glove box unit and it fits nicely. I don't have a picture yet but I will post one soon. Thanks again Kel!

I'd be interested in one of these /\

If you make it in 2 pieces like the others and assemble it after its through the dash hole it might work.

Looks like excellent workmanship in the others!

On a side note to the remote for the head unit.
In my 93 I have a Blaupunkt deck with what they call a "thummer" remote. It's an IR remote that attaches to the steering wheel and the sensor "eye" attaches to the dash with double sided tape. The "eye" has a cord, (maybe 2-3 feet), that plugs into the back of the deck.
It's an older deck but they might make newer versions that still use the "thummer".
I've just about forgot what the buttons on the deck itself do! LOL

Useless trivia;
The dash in my 72 is cut. I cut it myself. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat!
I cut the dash, jerked the ashtray out, (disgusting habit anyway), and then made an aluminum plate that cover the ashtray hole and the butt ugly indented in part of the dash where the factory radio mounts. Bolted the aluminum plate to the dash with button head allen bolts.
CDplayer? Bahahahahaha! 72 3/4 ton 4x4 Not a chance in hell it won't skip.

Ok...as promised...here are some pics of my installs. First is the non/AC unit all painted (fake rock paint) and installed in my CST:

Lemield · 02-13-2006, 10:14 AM

Here are some pics of the AC unit. I went to Walmart and purchased a ballistic nylon car trash bag for $3.99. I cut off the straps and used the supplied velcro to attach it to the box side of the unit.
Pics of box without bag attached, pic of bag, pic with bag attached. (Radio hole is actually straight...poor camera work makes it look crooked!)

Lemield · 02-21-2006, 09:51 AM

Latest progress:

I installed an IR extender so that I can operate the remote control with the glovebox door closed. The unit is a PAC IR-X. I built a harness to prevent voltage spikes using the procedure and diagram from the FAQ...

http://www.chevelles.com/techref/ftecref26.html

I secured the pickup eye under the dash in an existing hole using a small plastic clamp. I then secured the transmitter in the glovebox using the same type of clamp. Works great. The IR-X does not work with all remotes so check with PAC to be sure.

**Green Machine** · 02-07-2006, 01:27 AM

Are these made of aluminum?

72armyswbtruck · 02-08-2006, 02:24 AM

Excellent work Kel, Lemield can wait for the pics... BTW PM'd you for an order.

obsesive23 · 02-21-2006, 11:53 PM

wlarue72 · 04-10-2006, 10:45 PM

Would love to have one of the a/c ones, just short on cash at this time. Might be able to purchase one next month if you will have any left.

NitroMike · 04-14-2006, 08:23 AM

I'm interested in a non A/C unit. Please PM with payment details. Thanks.

albert lancaster · 04-14-2006, 02:42 PM

I Would Like One, Put Me In Line.

albert lancaster · 04-14-2006, 02:49 PM

How Much For The Ac One? If You Have One Let Me Know. Thanks!!!

stingray72 · 04-14-2006, 03:02 PM

kelsfine69 · 04-15-2006, 11:21 PM

Hey Guys

There $70 US shipped to your door...PM me with your address and we will go from there.

Kelsfine69

kelsfine69 · 04-20-2006, 08:04 PM

Heres one done

Orange '71 GMC · 04-24-2006, 01:33 PM

Those look great!!!
I will be doing something similiar after I get my aftermarket A/C installed. It takes up most of my dash space there - as it is almost totally hidden from plain sight.

Here is a pic of my previous setup with factory air and a factory style h/u.

I ain't into cutting the factory tin.

kelsfine69 · 04-24-2006, 08:57 PM

Cool, I made something similar, but no pics of it installed
