I'm getting ready to do this same thing on my cab. I was thinking of going with the screw in studs though... Can you tell me what the measurement is from the top of the pinch weld where the window rubber goes, down to where the stud gets placed? Thanks.

Nick, I'll get that measurement for you. It's in the 67-72 Assembly Manual if you have one handy.

Don't buy the trim screws yet. I'll send you the set I bought. They'll be in the box with the 4spd items you bought.

No problem. This board and its members/staff have been really good to me in the past as well. I try to give back when I can, even if its only a set of screws.

Finished converting my non-AC cab to an AC cab this weekend.

The Vintage Air kit came with templates for the vents which made it pretty easy to get them located. Nothing elaborate, but here are a few pictures of the progress.



Locating the driver's side vent.









The kit also came with a template to help locate the center louver. I was a little nervous about making this cut because of the contour of the dash at this location. I was concerned about getting it centered and level. But it went well.











The VA kit had some of the mounting bolts, for the evaporator, coming through the exterior firewall, but in keeping with the smooth firewall theme I welded some bolts to the inside of the firewall.









Like I said earlier, nothing elaborate, but progress just the same.
