AC/Heater back in

well I got everything back together and in and it looks pretty good. still have to find someone to charge it so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will all work. thanks to FAABenny for the great job he did on refinishing the ac and heater units. I had my original Harrison heater core re-cored. I have been dreading doing this for about a year and now that it is done I don't know why. thanks to everyone here for giving answers to the many questions that I had. I think that there is at least 1 answer to every question that could ever be asked on this forum. this forum is full of great people. I thank you all!!!!!

here are some before and after pics cause I know everyone likes pics like I do

Re: AC/Heater back in

This is something I wish I'd done on mine, but I just wasn't aware anyone offered the service! I put a new heater core in that side and I hand-polished all of mine and it came out OK cosmetically, but it's still 40 years old internally...

Very nice!

Is your truck a 70-71 with 2169 DK BLU or is it an earlier dark blue? I may have already asked...

That's so weird, I never noticed that in 1971 you could get "523 DK BLU" or "508 BK BLU" in the same year. They're very similar.

1970 had the 508 DK BLUE and then two medium blues.

Your restored ac/heater boxes came out very nice and look great installed. Glad you liked them. Still might make Conroe swap meet. If I do, I'll have your evap, and blower motor.
