gdink1970KS · 01-29-2009, 06:00 PM

I am interested in doing this on my project.... I searched and couldn't find a real good place for info... I would also like to move the booster off the fire wall if possible.. like i said i could find exactly what i was looking for thanks

wHATANERD · 01-29-2009, 06:10 PM

Installing a Hydro Boost setup would remove the booster from the firewall.

big_al_71 · 01-29-2009, 06:44 PM

Not a firewall but how about a smooth cowl/kick panel. This is rob32472's. Check out his build thread

I still have the booster, but here's how mine is.

gdink1970KS · 01-30-2009, 07:09 PM

wow... thanks guys... looks SHARP... 68 short step is that going to be a boosted setup??

C20-67_N_MO · 01-30-2009, 07:22 PM

So I have a question for you guys with the shaved firewall setups.

Did you do away with your heater all together?

I would like to have this nice smooth look on mine but still have at least a heater and possible an A/C setup later.

We sell these for 67-72 trucks if interested they are 18 guage

Kayotic · 01-30-2009, 08:22 PM

mbgmike, Is that a replacement or an overlay?

They are replacements but kind of both. There are actually 4 pieces to them. the firewall and floor pieces are replacements but the piece that goes on the cowl above the firewall can be welded on as a replacement or overlaid also but I would weld it in.

mbgmike: PM sent on that firewall

I do have A/C but I do not have a heater being that I live in Florida I did not feel like I needed. Here is a pict of how we ran the A/C lines..

big_al_71 · 01-30-2009, 08:53 PM

A/C lines

boogie67 · 01-30-2009, 09:00 PM

Heres mine.Im using a heater blower off a forklift for heat.I ran my hoses the same way Big al did on his truck.

C20-67_N_MO · 01-30-2009, 10:50 PM

Big Al what A/C setup did you go with?

And I like how clean the firewall still looks!

Good Job!

In my truck the wires are still in the stock location on the firewall, however they were all extended and ran behind the lh side fender all the way to the bottom of the radiator support.

I used an aftermarket wiring harness. The light harness comes out just behind the inner fender. The engine harness comes out just behind and below the top of the engine. It noticeable, but not obvious.

monte0185 · 03-07-2009, 11:18 PM

Im interested in this as well. Can you get just an aftermarket heating system? I dont really want A/C.

Pics of mine done a few years ago. MC/booster, fuse panel, etc., are under the dash. The last pic is of my heater.
