cooling a panel
While working on Panel outside in Southern summer with humidity around 1000%. Start thinking about how to cool the thing so can enjoy year round. I freaking hate heat.
Lots of options for AC. Have not seem one with rear air. I have a old astro with rear air. Wondering if can adapt over.F igure run lines under truck up thru side pouch thru floor,up side and over to unit. Hvae not tgorn ionto astro yet. ZFiguring there has to be drain that will run down same route and out back of truck. Use astro controls but not exposed more in custom console. Anyone seen a rear air for suburbans which is panel with windows(lol).?

Re: cooling a panel
Here are pics of my 71 with roof air. The ac hoses are routed under the truck and enter in the area of the “4th door rocker and go behind the panels until they go up the rear pillar. The drains on both sides also go down the pillar and out the bottom. I hope these help.

Re: cooling a panel
I would imagine with a panel you would have a bit more free rein on routing since you don’t have to worry about the windows being in the way. You may be able to just route them near the rear pillar and find a way to cover them up that looks good.

Re: cooling a panel
Thanks for replies. Pretty sure routing lines will notnbe iussue and yes they are famous last words exspecailly after tidays discoverys of rust where kind of figured it was.
