A/C evap drain install -non-A/C cab - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

So, I've acquired my new 67 SWB Fleet side. The VAir system was installed about 5 years or so ago and was never used AFAIK. I'm assuming this really because the compressor had the wrong seal and would not hold vacuum. Not to mention, now that I fixed that, I have a new leak in my interior!

My problem now is that I need to make a drain hole somewhere for the evaporator condensate. VAir instructions say measure 1" down from the drain nipple on the Evaporator housing, drill a 3/8" hold in the firewall at that point and then put the hose through that with an elbow fitting.

What have you all done with your evap drain? Anybody know where the factory location would be for a factory A/C cab?

Thanks,

Factory AC cab doesn't have one! The evaporator is on the motor side in a factory setup. Just do as the directions say and all is fine.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
