beautiful truck! question; i see a lot of resto jobs here and alot of people block off and take out the heatercore and fan motor box and weld it up for that clean look. what do you do for heat and defrost???? is there an underdash elec setup?? if so please point me in the right direction. V/R Mark

Phipp13, I'm using the Vintage Air Gen II kit. It uses servo motor controls. No more cables to the control and it's all motors which help the blending of air better than the cable controlled flaps. The reason I'm installing the Gen II kit is because of the servo motor controls and it's cheaper than the sure-fit kit. Since I've smoothed out the firewall, vintage air wanted an additional $250 to change the heater core on the sure-fit. The connections on the sure-fit kit go through the firewall still and obviously that's not going to work. I need them to go toward the passenger side kick panel. I'm putting a smooth fiberglass cowl on my truck so the cab vents on the kick panels are useless to me, therefore I'm planning on bringing the a/c lines through the passenger side vent hole after making a solid custom kick panel cover. the cover will not completely cover the vent hole. I'm making a custom panel (possibly a radio delete panel) for the controls to mount on the dash. They will be placed in the original hole. I went with the 4 knob billet controls for the Gen II kit. It's going to look SWEEEET!!!! All I ordered form Vintage Air is the Gen II Evap kit and controls (about $700). I'm running the serp system from a 94 chevy truck, so I went to the local O'Reilly Auto parts to pick up the compressor. I found the correct compressor plug in the salvage yard and will connect it to my Ron Francis Express wiring kit. The condensor and dryer can be bought cheaper than the $200 vintage air wants for them. I will have my lines custom fit later in the build.

Keep the questions coming.... Hopefully this helped.

Oh yeah, I think I'll be doing more work on it during the holidays... so more pics...

[NWD02]

With the help of my wife...I got the radiator, electric fan, braided trans cooler lines, and a few other things done. Here's a few pictures... as of today.

nice truck.

Your truck is coming along great. I like the blue better than the red.
It is nice to see a project come together, plus you did this one in a pretty short amount of time compared to most. Hope you get it on the road for Christmas!

Thanks for the tilt.

Your truck is way too clean--I think it is time for an extended beer run.
Who needs glass!

Coming along nice.....still can't get over how quick you've done this one.

[NWD02]

Haha, thanks John... makes me wonder... if I didn't work 72-88 hours a week or have to delay some of it due to the wedding last April... How would it look?

[jrdv]

You probably would have put a dent in it by now!
