Aftermarket heat?

Re: Aftermarket heat?

behind the dash in between the a/c glove box liner and the edge of the ash tray, I'm still working on box that allows two tubes for defrost and floor heat

Vintage Air, Hot Rod Air, just to name a few, and they will get your 1/2 way to a shaved firewall and having A/C and defrost.
