WTB: Air Conditioning Upper/Lower Diverter Box - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bouncytruck · 10-08-2004, 07:13 PM

The flap that directs the air between the dash vents/floor and defost is broken in my truck, so I need to replace it. It is the part that the duct hoses connect to before the S-box. I don't know if it is possible to just replace the flap or if I need the whole box as listed in all the catalogs.

I have a a/c unit from a 72. Do you have a pic of what you need? I probably have it.

nu2-72 · 10-08-2004, 09:25 PM

If it's the metal box, I have one blasted and primed. $15.00 shipped
I can try a pic tomorrow.

bouncytruck · 10-08-2004, 11:07 PM

67sss - I sent you a PM with my cell. I'd like to get that part from you tomorrow. It is kind of hard to keep the windows fog free in the weather we were having today!

bouncytruck · 10-08-2004, 11:14 PM

Ok - I replied just now and it edited an eariler post of mine and moved the thread back to that time in the list. What is going on?

Anyway 67sss - I sent you a PM with my cell. I'd like to get the part from you tomorrow. How much do you want for it?

bouncytruck · 10-08-2004, 11:17 PM

When I try to reply in this thread, it edits an earlier post of mine and moves the thread back in time in the list of topics? This is very odd.

Hopefully, this post doesn't repeat itself for all of you to see.

Think he is looking for the plastic defrost/heater selector box. Mines broke too. My hack repair failed miserably and my last recreational junkyarding trip a guy was crowin about his "score". Missed it by that much! To get to the point. They are 86+- bucks new. If anyone has one after BouncyTruck gets his, I'd like one too.

chickenwing · 10-09-2004, 01:16 AM

Billsbowtie, I claim dibbs after Bouncytruck. Willing to PayPal immediatly. tried to pm but somethings wrong says no more than 1 message every 15 seconds.

Blue Beard · 10-09-2004, 07:45 AM

He's correct on both counts....it is the diverter box, and you have to buy the unit.

http://www.gmpartsdirect.com
http://www.partszoneonline.com

Go to the website and get there phone number. They won't show the part you need on the site.

I bought mine from one of them couple of years ago, just don't remember which.

New shipped to me on the west coast was about half of what was wanted here....

Huck · 10-09-2004, 08:31 AM

BE AWARE, the aftermarket replacement Diverter box is not original GM quality. I bought one from "Gray's Truck Parts" a few years ago and within a year the rubber was falling apart. I have been told that the GM replacement from GM is also not original quality. Mine was junk within 2 years.
Many original boxes had a tendancy to get out of square relative to the plastic as well. I've had best luck finding a good orignal in a junk yard, at a meet, or from the board/e-bay. You can typically find a good original for under $25 and it is well worth it compared to buying new overseas junk for $80+. Make you check the plastic for square and the flapper for being complete, not broken and moveable. Good luck

billsbowtie · 10-09-2004, 09:24 AM

could someone post a pic. of the piece you need thanks

billsbowtie · 10-09-2004, 09:28 AM

67sss · 10-09-2004, 08:22 PM

bouncytruck.........I have one, all the vent openings had black duct tape on them cause the unit was not in use on the truck. I am going to Monroe on Sat. plan on leaving Mt Vernon around 11. PM me your cell and we can figure a meet point. No pics yet, daughter has the camera for the night.

kxmotox247 · 10-09-2004, 08:24 PM

I need one of those too! If there is one leftover after bouncy gets his, I'd like to buy it.

67sss · 10-09-2004, 08:33 PM

bouncytruck · 10-09-2004, 10:33 PM
