67 AC/Heater
Hello Everyone,
It's been a minute since i was on here. I bought a AC/Heater hose kit for my 67 LB w/Sm. BW. There were no hoses connected to anything when I got the truck. It was originally a AC truck, but now the compressor,acumalitor assembly, all that, has been deleted. I would like to at some point add the AC back on. My main concern for the time being is to make sure the truck has working heat/defrost. I have the center vent over the radio. The kit came with 4 hoses. I know two of the mid sized(diameter) ones go to each defrost. One larger hose connects to the right side vent, and then to a port on the box. The center vent has the smallest size hose that connects on each side. If i run a peice of larger hose to port on box, place small hose inside connect to one side of center vent. Small hose coming out the other side of vent down into larger peice, connected to drivers side vent. that would leave me with 1 open port on the box? Or run larger peice from port over to dr, side vent, and use the same set up for the center vent? that would leave me with the driver side of the center vent open? I double checked i got the right kit for a 67 w/AC, but i can't figure this out? If anyone can PLEASE give me some advice on this issue? I would GREATLY appreciate it. I know it's something simple, and feel kind of dumb.. lol hopefully these pictures attach? |

Re: 67 AC/Heater
The center has to have 2 hoses hooked up to it that is why the tee is slipped on to this connection which adds the 5 hose. I would just tape the ones you don't need off and run the defroster and heater and be done.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |

Re: 67 AC/Heater
You need 6 hoses in all: 1 each to the left and right vents that go to the air selector box, two for the center vent that go to a separate T--shaped adapter that fits on top of the air selector box, and two for the defroster outlets that go to the heater/defroster box. There's a good picture in the LMC catalog page 119. Also this thread, which I used frequently as a "how to do it right" guide during my build (thanks, Roadracer!) has some clear shots of the hoses installed in post 59.
