I bought a 94 Chevy truck A/C blower motor to replace my 71 blower motor. It didn't work. The squirle cage was to thick on the new one. Oh well anybody have any other suggestions on what year may work.

I used one from a 96 P/30, and like you described, the cage hit the back side of the box. I made a spacer to moce the blower motor out a little, then I ground down a little bit of the cage and it all clears and seals great.
Blows way harder than the old motor did.

Thanks for the info on the spacer, haden't thought about doing it, but I would like one to just fit the same hole. I'm open for suggestions... anybody!
