Also interested in you fire wall pics and ideas.

Thanks

If I understand your question correctly, you're looking for a replacement piece. I don't believe anyone is making replacement firewall parts for these things.

Just out of curiosity why are you taking out the heater. Is it a drag truck. I live in Texas is 105 in the summer and 30 it the winter I cant imagine not having a heater at least

I spent 4 years in MA without a heater in mine. Just had to wear a coat... and gloves... and shiver a lot.

Thanks guys, I have a BB for my blazer and wanted some options. Question answered

$407 does sound a bit high though. I'll see what I can come up with.

I like that look. What all is involved? I can just tear into mine and find out i guess.. just wondering if there is anything that's gonna bite me.

Pretty simple.......................no biting involved

Cost me just over $100 Canadian pesos for everything.

Lookin' good, Deuce. I see you were able to get the panel painted to match. Are you going to get the inner fenders painted to match as well?

Yea. I took the glove box door to a local paint supply place and had them mix me up a couple spray cans of the color and just painted it myself in the garage. I got a new set of inner fenders that I will paint body color before I put them in.
I hope your happy with all the changes to your old truck??

**pjmoreland** · 09-08-2005, 02:19 AM

I'm impressed. Your truck looks really nice. Looks like they did a good job of matching the color for you.

Looks good but I could never be that gun ho and not have any heat and have to be cold to have a smooth fire walll. But to each his own. The only way I would do that is to drive the truck only in the summer. Park the truck in winter months.

But I like driving my trucks too much. Now I can see this on show trucks. I just do not like freezing cold.
