'71 C10 fresh air vent?????
In the process of replacing rust in my truck, I've noticed all the crap that has accumulated in my "vent box" at the outside of the cowl. The former owner had installed a ss screen under the cowl yet it has rotted. How can this be prevented?
Thanks |

I used regular screen porch screen. It's been under the cowl for several years now and still works good.
Keeping it inside the garage works the best though!

This truck will not sit inside. Is there supposed to be a drain that I don't see?

Lay on your back and look straight up above front of outer rocker... Lol. You'll see a gap between the cowl panels

It'd be tough... Mice like to nest in that area of your pic. Look under the area of our pic... You'll see the drain I covered in expanded metal.
