air conditioned cab question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ilike 72"s · 04-29-2007, 09:18 PM

Is there a differance other than the vent holes on the face of the dash? Are the holes the same on the fire wall side where the unit bolts to. Is the inner fender indented to make room. I know the glove box interior cardboard is smaller.

Holes are different on the firewall, but inner fender is the same.

Is the firewall shape the same? Can the holed be modified to fit my air parts? Or is there a lot more to it than its worth?

I don't know if it is just the year model that makes the difference, but on the
68 non a/c cab that I have the holes are not the same as the holes on the
70 a/c cab that I have.

The firewall can be altered to accept a/c unit on non a/c and visa-versa without detection once unit is in place.

Thanks neonlarry. That old post is exactly what I wanted to know. Weld in a patch panel, cut a new hole,replace the dash face and install the air parts from my donor pickup. Then be cool.
