Cooling fans you find in computers and electronic gear, or used to find at Radio Shack Make sure they're 12 volt DC. Tapped into a power source (like cig lighter) and put a toggle switch under the heater controls.
I took a speaker sized piece of thin plywood, cut a circle out of it, and screwed the fan to it. Painted the top side black so you don't see it through the speaker grille slots on the top dash. I just kinda wedged, glued, and screwed the plywood into where the speaker was. This was done while the glove box liner and radio were not yet installed. I figured if there was no speaker there, why not use the space and existing dash slots for a center air supply. I just remember the times driving down the road, peeping through the two circles of a foggy windshield, wishing I had more vision.
Thanks.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
