Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well teh duct work sure is tight in their! But it is all complete and if you tackle this the bigest thing I can say is take a bunch of pic's before you take it apart and as you go. I had a hell of a time figuring out the cables and then just getting it all back in place. One extra thing I did was installed a sterio deck while I was up intheir because after it was done you would not get one to fit with out removing a few things. I first installed the drivers A/C vent and tube then the drivers defrost went next. After that I put in the center dash A/C vent and tubes in the the pass side defrost and last but not least the pass A/C vent.
ECE's vent tube were a perfect fit and all cut to length. They are also alot better then the ones that came with my Vintage Air kit. They feel like oiled Denem or somthing simular. Their was no need for clips or tie wraps to keep the tubes in place because they fit so tight you have to twist them in place (they kind of screw on to the ducting). Then before I replaced the controls I installed a new sterio deck. I found that to get the controls back in I had to remove the mounting bracket from the controls and reinstall it after it was slipped into place. PS. if you remove the ash tray it will make things a bit easier to reach around while working.
I would say that the Vent replacement (no sterio) took about 5-8 hours depending if you want to clean parts as you go like I did.
ECE A/C and Defroster hose duct set part # 10-AA06 and it was $59.00 and worth every penny IMHO.
