Shaved firewall with heater.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I plan on retaining the original heater box but i don't have one. I was wondering what holes could be covered up on the heater side of the cab?

I've noticed lots of guys cover up the hole for the e-brake and wiring harness. What do you do for the wiring and e-brake?

I went with Lokar's e-brake setup that mounts with their shifter. Looks/works good. The only wires I have coming through mine is the plug. Everything else is re-routed or removed. You'll be surprised how much unnecessary wires are there from 40 years of retards running new wires all of the time and either not removing the old ones or not realizing they can get power from somewhere close/cleaner.

I have the original heater box out of my truck if you want it. Not sure if the shipping will cost you more than its worth. PM me if you want it.

Thank you but i'm pretty sure it would be way too costly. Thanks though

I'm confused on what you're referring to. Do you mean the e-brake that mounts on the tranny? I looked at the Lokar site, and that's all I saw...
