Heater/Defrost vent pipes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I built a custom center console and am looking for something like the original heater vent pipes (like the ones to the defrost or A/C) that I can reroute the bottom of the heat outlet to my new vents.

I built an end cap on the original outlet to adapter to 4 1" hoses. What do you guys recommend? The closest I can find is pool/spa flexible pvc pipe.

Check with your local boat/marine supply place, ask for "Bilge blower hose" it comes in various diameters/lengths.....cheaper than the factory cloth covered stuff...

I have found a lot of stuff, but I can't really justify spending $40 on 5 feet of cheap hose, so I'll probably go with some plastic marine hosing.

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.
