Re: heater ? what goes here

the gap on the bottom is bad and if i pull it down then theres a huge gap on top i tried to even it out and it dont work cause the little lip on top for the two screws inside that hold it in place ,the panel truck i took the heater controls from i dont remember it having that much of a gap ,and my original delete plate had no gap at all

Mine just fit tight like yours, no gasket or sleeve. Does not mean there was not one there originally. If you want fresh air to run thru the heater you will need to pull the plate. On after market ac/heat systems it is blocked off so you are recirculating the cooled and or heated air, it is not mandatory that it be open.

Re: heater ? what goes here

there is a flange and a short piece of flexible duct in there.
if you manage to find them, i'd still leave the plate on there.
stock heaters barely work in cold weather.

I will respectfully disagree. I drove my truck in -15 weather and was always toasty. Had to put a piece of cardboard in front of the radiator so it would heat up, but heater core and fan were up to the job. Actually coldest I have every been was on that trip. We were a 9000 feet and 7200 valley below us recorded -22, my thermometer only went to -20, we figured it was pushing -30 up where we were. Luckily there was no wind the week we hunted. So cold the beer froze in the cooler. It warmed up when we drove out. It was iced up so bad that I had to keep dropping the wheels into the side ditch on the logging road to slow down for switch back corners. That is the reason on my truck everything is tucked up above the frame rails!
