Re: 1966 C1434 SWB Custom Cab
Man that was a hard blow on a nice truck! Thanks for this nice build tread you made. I just got my 66 and have it all in front of me.

Re: 1966 C1434 SWB Custom Cab
This is going to be a big project. Cleaning up and reusing this original A/C setup up. I have all the wiring, control knobs, and vent. I realize that i'm still missing part of the puzzle, (Deluxe Heater box for A/C) but i am looking to acquire one. This vent is the correct 1966 dark fawn poly. 1965 and older vents are the medium fawn poly commonly seen inside the cab and doors. The fourth picture shows were someone marked that it came off a 65 but the evaporator could have but the vent is definitely off a 66

Re: 1966 C1434 SWB Custom Cab
cleaned up and painted the A/C relay. This is a single pole double throw switch. I cleaned the contacts up real good and tested for proper operation. After i painted the lid, I put it back together. There is some pitting on the relay can but that gives it character.

Re: 1966 C1434 SWB Custom Cab
For the bezel, I will use the vent balls from this old GM under dash AS/C unit. They are a direct fit, and the chrome is super nice on them.

Nice progress! The parts truck looks good enough from the pictures to be put back on the road
