Air cond. and brake questions? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BtnkBndt · 10-23-2003, 04:36 PM

Today I came across an air conditioned and power brake equiped 72 C10 in the salvage yard that wasn't completely stripped.

1.)Air.
I pulled all three vents, dash control, and everything up to the heater core assembly. Do I need to get the whole setup, heater core assembly and evaporator assembly? Are there other things I should pull and not leave behind?

2.) Brakes.
I pulled the power brake booster assembly up to the firewall, master cylinder, proportioning valve, bracket, and supports. Do I need anything beyond the firewall like maybe the rod to the pedal?

3.) Will this all bolt directly to my 67?

Sorry for all the questions, but I know you guys will have the answers for all this.

Thanks alot.

I also got all three seat belts (retractables, black, wish they would've been red) and the gauge cluster because it was there.

For the air you will need everything including the passenger cowl vent and all brackets, hose's, compressor,inside and outside heater/a/c box's and the cowl vent assembly for the fresh air
Be aware that the firewall openings are different between the factory A/C and no A/C cabs.

As far as the brake booster goes, YES get the rod that goes to the pedal. You need that when converting from manual to discs.

Hutch,
Thats what I was afraid of, why I only came home with the vents and controls. As far as the opening being different, bigger, smaller, different spot? I knew I'd have to cut for the vents and couldn't make up my mind on that one either. The outside box is well oxidized, I'll probably go ahead and get the one from inside just incase, I might kick myself later. It might be better just to go with the aftermarket air, I've got all winter to decide. Never actually added air to a vehicle, always pulled it. I'm getting older now, I need it.

jorgensensc,
I figured I would need that rod, I just ran out of time. I'll have to go back this afternoon. By the way, thats one nice truck you've got there!

Thanks guys.
