dash vents

Beach66Bum · Jul 24, 2011

So now that Summer has arrived (finally) and the inside of the truck gets smoking hot, I want to swap out the dash for one that has the vents for fresh air. I have no a/c, but do have a rear slider which helps as long as your in motion. My question is, is the swap just as easy as getting the duct work and new dash. Will it hook up to the blower the same. Pictures if any one has them would be really great.

thanks, Roy

Pulling the dash is extremely fun. Not impossible, but not fun, especially in the heat. I'm not entirely sure on the a/c box, but you may need to find a new blower box. Don't forget that the control unit under the radio will need to be swapped for an A/C one as well.

What if I only wanted the outside air, But no A/C. Right now I only have the vents at the bottom corner panels.

The non-air trucks have no provisions for dash vents, so you have to swap in an air box ducting for an air truck. I just pulled an ac system out of a non-factory air truck, it had vents, but no fresh air. It pulled the air from inside the cab. Factory air trucks have no kick panel vents.
