A/C blockoff plate

My truck has an A/C cab, but none of the AC stuff is hooked up. Anyways, I was thinking that it would really clean up the engine compartment if I got rid of that big box thing on the fire wall. Does any one make a block off plate that I can use, or can I just use a plate from a non-A/C cab?

You could probably get one through Vintage Air or similar vender. Remember, that will also take out your heater/defrost if you pull that box structure away.

I was thinking of doing the same. The cut outs are different for non a/c trucks so putting in just a heater core is a PITA.
I might just take the whole thing out rat-rod style.

I have contacted Vintage Air and Old Air both. I asked for a plate so that I could proceed with my cab build now and install the kit later on. No reply from either. Hope you have better luck. Let me know what they say.

No heat would suck, aren't you in Washington?

Yeah, I have to have heat, mainly for the defrost capability.

Looks like american grafetti has what I want, but ouch, a little pricey.

I might just try making my own.
