One word for you: AFTERMARKET.

You can get aftermarket kits that neatly bolt under the dash and only require an inlet and outlet hose to go through the firewall. Modern, efficient, works better than stock, and you get good A/C and heat in one package.

yoyokidss · 03-26-2007, 10:45 PM

yeah im going w/ vintage air

**N2TRUX** · 02-26-2007, 09:29 AM

I'm guessing he is going with an aftermarket a/c-heater from Vintage Air or....?

byrd · 02-26-2007, 10:02 AM

I see a sticker on your grill, is it new repop?

**Ron 586** · 02-26-2007, 10:12 AM

Looking good. Keep up the good work. Having worked a few flood cars in my life I know that was a mess.

67ChevyRedneck · 02-26-2007, 10:09 AM

Wow, great progress!!!

One question: Are you concerned with the cab rusting from the inside out because it was submerged underwater?

Thanks for saving another classic!

bobthecop · 02-26-2007, 10:25 AM

Welcome from Oklahoma and good job on the truck, looking good.

Chevy_Man · 02-26-2007, 10:25 AM

Welcome aboard from Louisiana, looks like you got a good start after the storm...hope you do not have rust problems later on. Keep the pics coming. Looks like you are spending some money on repo parts too.....

**Yukon Jack** · 02-26-2007, 11:32 AM

HeavyD · 02-26-2007, 07:59 PM

Those are repo doors and fenders? Does the OEM grille work good with the aftermarket fenders? How about the doors? Much trouble getting them to fit properly?

JRracing · 02-27-2007, 01:53 AM

Looks pretty cool. I bought that same hood a few months ago. I also plan to get a new sheet metal for the front.
