51 chevy ac vents
anyone know a good setup for ac vents on 51 truck? i dont want the knee-knocker type setup, was thinkin about goin out to the junk yard and finding some decent old vents.. but would love any and all ideas on what you might have done on your build...willing to relocate radio and utilize that space, its perfectly in the middle of the cab and looks promising but before i do that wanted to check with you guys out there for other suggestions.... pics would be awesome.... thank God for this forum it has helped me bunches Gary

Re: 51 chevy ac vents
I think Vintage air has some fairly small round ones in their catalog but wrecking yard hunting may provide some that are more interesting. Mid 80's Mercedes sedans have round ones in the dash that might work in a owner fabricated housing in the dash.

Re: 51 chevy ac vents
My vents came from Vittage Air and the trimmer made the pockets for them
