need pics, a/c firewall vs. NON A/C - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**crossy** · 03-19-2003, 12:58 AM

I only did the a/c conversion one time with a guy and never took pics. If anyone has a pic they took of the differences in the firewall hole please send them to me as I am trying to make up file of useful 73-87 info. If you only have a pic of one or the other maybe some else will send of the other. send pic to all4trux@snip.net or post here and I'll pick it off. thanx , DAVE

navybear70 · 03-19-2003, 01:45 AM

truck was given aftermarket a/c. Some components were removed, don't know which ones cause the system is too old. The two hoses just right (in the picture) of the coil are the a/c system's hoses.

navybear70 · 03-19-2003, 01:46 AM

another... ignore the fire damage, thats a whole 'nother story.

**crossy** · 03-19-2003, 01:56 AM

Navybear, LOL, MY fault for not being clearer but I mean the actual huge hole in the firewall under the heater box. they are different from A/C to NON A/C trucks. thanx for the effort though.

HMMM, trying to dry off the old distributor cap with WD-40 were we? DAVE

**Captkaos** · 03-19-2003, 11:40 AM

Dave,
Here is my A/C firewall.
http://www.captkaoscustoms.com/images/sandfirewall.jpg

The only diff is the big huge sqare hole and the posistion of the heater core. Non-A/C has the heater core close to the same place as the big square hole. I can try and get a pic if you need it.

**crossy** · 03-19-2003, 11:48 AM

OK guys now i need the one without A/C . any 73-87 will do.

next I want to cover the 81- up front clip on 73-80 cab.

BigRed · 03-19-2003, 11:50 AM

Crossy, I can take some pics tonight of my bare cab. It's AC-less and is very easy to see as it's removed from the frame. I'll post them tomorrow.

bigblock73 · 03-19-2003, 12:10 PM

Dave, here is a closer shot of my AC firewall on the '73...

ElGracho · 03-19-2003, 09:24 PM

Does this help any? This is when I converted my 84. There is an article on my page under my trucks/84 k10. Take a look.

BigRed · 03-20-2003, 10:01 AM

Here are the pics of my NON-AC cab as promised. Hope they help!

**Captkaos** · 03-20-2003, 12:12 PM

Scott, you forget something?

What did I forget?

**crossy** · 03-20-2003, 01:00 PM

yep, that will do it . since No one will convert to NON AC all i need now if for someone to modify one of the AC cab pictures with some dimemsions as to where the hole begins. I know Kaos is real good with that photoshop stuff.

Apparently they are STILL blocking me from your site!!!!

**Captkaos** · 03-20-2003, 03:51 PM

If Scott will email the pic to me I will get you some measurements (can't get to his site)

**crossy** · 03-20-2003, 04:13 PM

I think all you have to do is right click on any pic and coose 'SAVE AS' and put it in any of your folders. DAVE

**Captkaos** · 03-20-2003, 05:44 PM

Yeah, I could if I could see it

My company is blocking me from his website, so I don't see the pic.

ElGracho · 03-20-2003, 07:51 PM

PM me your email address and I will email any of those pics you want to you.

**Captkaos** · 03-20-2003, 08:45 PM

thanks, I came home and got them.

Man Chris, I don't know what the deal is! You seem to be the only one that has problems getting to my site (at work at least). Sorry about the difficulties. Not like I'm hosting porn or anything!

Just pics of trucks and of my family.

**Captkaos** · 03-21-2003, 12:38 PM

I have no idea either, you don't have any weird META tags do you?

You do have alot of truck porn on there though...

BigRed · 03-21-2003, 02:56 PM

I removed the word "Gallery" and "Pictures" from the META tag. Nothing else is out of the ordinary. Who knows?

**Captkaos** · 03-21-2003, 06:11 PM

Scott, you can put the tags back, that didn't change anything.
