Nothing better than trucking to the Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show and hanging out with good friends. Truck ran amazing and did over 500 miles.

Still can't figure out how to post more than one pic at a time with iPad.

Definitely looks like it was a good time! Sounds like 500 miles of happiness to me

It was really cool to see so many C10's there. Everyone I met and talked to, were really cool. I'm really looking forward to the Brothers show July 10th. My goal is to have my interior finished by then.

lol, I love what it says for 6th gear!

trkfrk · 05-25-2016, 06:42 PM

Now the real fun begins. I still haven't decided if I'm going to go through the fire wall or kick panel with the hoses.

**derotoreut** · 05-25-2016, 07:58 PM

Go through the kick panel so you can show me how you did it.

That's where I want to go through when I'm to that point. Good luck with it. Truck is looking awesome.

Very nice!

I like the kick panel idea too but I'm not sure how it's done....

Bennett68C10 · 05-26-2016, 08:13 AM

Nice, now you'll be able to be comfortable and cool inside that truck with those hot vegas temps!

Thanks Dan.. I am probably going to go through the kick panel. Just not looking forward to pulling the hood, fender, bumper and possibly the front grill. If you end up using the vintage air system there is a good size hole that needs to be put into your core support for the lines from the condenser. Something to think about before you assemble your front end. I will post pics when I get to that point.

Thanks Keith, were supposed to hit triple digits next week

trkfrk · 05-28-2016, 12:58 PM

Vintage Air did an awesome job on these lower compressor brackets. I can't believe how much more room I have now.

gringoloco · 05-29-2016, 11:23 AM

That looks like a great fit. Enough room to run lines?

Edit: is it an Alan Grove bracket supplied by vintage?

Thanks Chris.. Looks like I should have plenty of room. Not sure what an Alan Grove bracket is? Here is pic of VA part number

trkfrk · 05-29-2016, 10:37 PM

The lines from my condenser through the core support are way to long since I have no battery and running low mount compressor. Now I need to modify the lines.

**RRR18** · 05-30-2016, 08:05 AM

Lookin good.

Made a simple bracket for the evaporator to hang from the cowl and I'm going to use the engine oil dipstick bolt In the fire wall to secure the evaporator unit. It's the cleanest way I could come up with without drilling holes into the fire wall.

trkfrk · 06-04-2016, 07:27 PM

With a lot of research and pictures from this forum I have decided this is going to be the cleanest way to run the A/C & heater hoses through the firewall.

trkfrk · 06-04-2016, 07:30 PM

No one in town has the bulkhead fitting, so I had to order it from VA. Went ahead and pulled the hood and hood hing in preparation to make the holes needed to mount bulkhead fitting.

trkfrk · 06-09-2016, 11:36 PM

Bulkhead in

Clean bulkhead design and awesome truck!
