Thoughts on Gen 5 Vintage Air Install

That sure is encouraging to hear that your kit has been going strong for 25 years now.

The heater hoses were quite difficult to push onto the firewall connections because the lines are not supported at the firewall. They just flex inward if you push on them. A second set of hands are needed to support the lines from inside the cab. I didn't have a helper available, so I used various pieces of wood jammed in there to support the lines.

I am definitely noticing the same thing about the center vent. The air comes out of it at about a 45 degree angle to the driver side. seems like GM should have designed the vent to adjust left/right instead of up/down.

Vintage Air does make a control panel for our trucks. I declined to go that route due to the $275 price tag. I kind of like having the original control panel in my truck. The levers are super easy to move now that they are only moving the sensors that are attached in place of the original mechanical cables.
