Replacing heater ventilating system in 69 CST-10

[cesandberg]

Hello everyone, this is my first post.

I live in Norway and i am currently renovating a Chevy CST-10 1969 4WD.

When i purchased it , the under dash Heater system had caught fire, and most of the Cockpit was damages by the fire.

Im currently repainting the cockpit interior and exterior, but im having trouble tracking down all the parts to rebuild the original heater system.

This truck came without A/C, Im considering putting in a aftermarked system With A/C, but the fact is that im renovating the truck and selling it, because i realy like the 2WD With a moderate lowering kit.

So, my question is, would it be cheaper for me to purchase the original parts and install them, or would a aftermarked system with og without A/C system do the trick?

I have googled all over but cant find one Company that sell all the original parts i need, if i buy parts from 2 or 3 different Companies, the shipping cost will be rather big to my country.

Any help and links to shops is very welcome.

Sounds like a tough spot to be in, it does not not seem to me there can be many parts trucks in your country to pull all you need to fix your original.
So shipping is going to get you whatever route you take.

ill be in denmark and sweden and finland in a couple weeks. If it fits in a suitcase Id be glad to haul it over for you.

JointTech: Thank you for Your most generous suggestion :-), i really appreciate it, but i think the Complete volume of parts will be to much to fit in a suitcase.

I have looked into the matter again in the weekend, and lookes like the easy way out is to order a Complete repleasementpackage With A/C from vintage air to the car.

Any other sulutions out there ?

Are you talking about the original heater system? If so, you can buy used, original pieces from members here on the board and replace what you need to.

Got any pics?

Well, it seems like i need to purchase all of the items included in the original heater/non A/C system placed under the dash, exept for the fan with housing and the controller display ( the controller wires are damaged). The water hoses in the engine compartment supplying the heater core allso needs to be replaced.

The previous owner purchased a new heater core, but the housing for it is damaged.

I think it would help With an exploded wiew drawing/pics of the heater/vent system, i have googled for it, but no luck yet. Perhaps someone here can help?

I would most certainly be interested in buying a Complete non A/C ventilating system for the truck.

I assume you have the service manuals. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=558016

LMC is pretty good at schematics.

I downloaded the schematic last week, but i can only find info regarding the A/C Version ventilation. I maybye be half blind thoug :-)

The LMC parts catalog lookes very nice, thank you for the link.

I will send them a mail, because the inner heater Box is gray shaded without any part nr, it is mentiones that it is 2 Versions of it, one in metal 67-69, ang one in plastic 70-72.

My truck is 69, but my inner heater Box is plastic.

Thank you for all help so far.
