Wow, amazing thread, I think I read it all Afraid to go back and re-read.

Yes the dashboards are different between GMC and Chevrolet. But my smaller side vents will work.

Any ideas when the small side vents will be available?

Got the center vent installed, scary cutting the dash. I'll try to get a pic or two once I finish installing my new head unit and speakers.

I had some setbacks with the side vents so its going to be a few months. I need to make a whole new master part and then make a mold

[corvettejim1968]

i have one pair of original chromed vent balls. any of you that want to send me your old original vent balls i will sell them at half price with your trade-in. they look awesome.

Hi
Thanks for the side vent balls, so the housings i had fell apart and no amount of glue will help it!! Do you have a pair (side vent housings) for sale? 2end grade would be ok as long as they are functional.
Thx

Unfortunately, the PO already hacked up the radio hole, so I got a single DIN radio and installed. I got the center AC vent and radio installed, but didn't take a final pic, DOH! Looks real nice, though. Now away for work for 2 weeks, I'll try to remember to post pic when I get back. nsb29's vent box fits pretty well. I got pics of that mounted with center 4.5 inch coax speakers. A little tight but I could have gained a bit more room. Going to post those pics over on his thread.

i worked on the side vent mold this weekend for about 5 hours. I'm half way done with it now.

[corvettejim1968]

The new side vent mold is done hopefully can start manufacturing parts tomorrow

[corvettejim1968]

Can I be put on the list for a set. (Raw) do you except PayPal? Thanks Al

[corvettejim1968]

if anybody wants the set in raw let me know because I can have a set ready in a couple of days. plus its cheaper. $225 for the center assembly and $300 for the package deal.

the chrome process is whats killing me on time. you can get it done or just paint them and save time and money.

Thanks Jim. Great workmanship.

The new center assembly and side vents are fantastic. I am looking at picking up both but can you enlighten me on how to run extra hoses and tap into the OE factory a/c to make this work? I have not seen that on the blog anywhere. Is there a previous link/ Thanks....

[rudyyloverboiii]

Jim, interested in the raw packaged deal. Still some available?

I have yet to see anybody tap into an original air conditioning system to run the two extra hoses. I am confident that with some mechanical skills and some ingenuity it can be done. When I came up at the side vents I was actually intending them to work with the Vintage Air or something like that.

Im itching for the side vents. Last piece of the puzzle!
