Thanks guys! It's been nice to work on the burb when it's not 95 degrees and 100% humidity! I should have done this a long time ago, :lol. I also have a guy scheduled to finish the sheetrock the first part of October, which will help also.

Back to the Burb.....Still waiting on my gauges, but I'm knocking small things off of my punch list, wiring and other miscellaneous stuff. The goal is to have everything done that I can so that when the gauges arrive I can wire them up and start it.....we'll see....

. Here's some pictures of the AC control panel and the RetroSound stereo installed.

Very nice! I'm sorry, to ask, because it's probably in the thread, but is that a/c control a vintage air product?

I'm sure you can, it's pretty small and fairly easy to install.

Heliarcn · 08-23-2016, 04:44 PM

Super clean and very symmetrical looking dash. Coming together nicely.

**Hart_Rod** · 09-13-2016, 09:17 AM

All AC/heat lines crimped and installed. Not the "neatest" way to do them, but they should work. Will pull a vacuum on the complete system tonight and hopefully no leaks.... One more thing crossed off of the list,

!

kikkegek · 09-13-2016, 09:23 AM

well, nothing sloppy there!

do you crimp them yourself?

Thanks! I bought a crimping tool from McMasters and did all of the crimping myself.

knomadd · 09-13-2016, 02:06 PM

That looks pretty good Rob. I did something similar on my 71. Going to keep it like that when I do the LS swap too. It's not as fancy as the all hidden stuff, but I like the way it looks.

ChuckDriver · 09-13-2016, 03:59 PM

Nicely done!

**Dieselwrencher** · 09-13-2016, 04:17 PM

Very nice! Getting the ac done is a big accomplishment IMO! Nice work.

goldenburb · 09-20-2016, 11:14 AM

A Q's on your installation of A/C.. Do the kit on the truck the same for the burb ????
Can you post more info of the crimper. Thanks as always killer build.

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from vacation. As far as I know there is no difference between the Vintage Air kits, they just list C10. Check out this thread on the crimper:

Take care,

Thanks Keith. I had some time to connect a few wires last night and here are few pictures of them lit up with some of the different color options!

Looks nice! Why isn't the clock lit up in the first 4 pictures?

Still working on cleaning up the wiring for the cruise control, EFI and the gauges while trying to finish the plumbing in my shop. Here's a shot of the gauges in Red...
