78 Ford truck air conditioning Duct

Big Jim F150

73-79 Ford Trucks Rock
Hi, I'm looking for the flexible air conditioning duct for my 78 F-150 Ranger Lariat, the one I'm looking for is the flexible duct that goes to the center vents in the dash, it is a rectangular shaped thing, that goes up from the top of the air plenum box. The ford part number is as follows D3TZ18A568B. Any ideas where I might locate one like a used one in VERY GOOD usable condition, or an NOS piece preferably? Ben and Bill you guys might be able help me out on this one:flag: Thank you for your help, any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated:thanks::thanks::flag:

Might come up empty on that one. I've been looking for the ducting that goes to the left of the gauge cluster for quite awhile, with no luck. I did find a couple junkyard ducts that were in worse shape than mine.

I hope you fare better than I did.

Only suggestion I'd have is to contact Green Sales...see if they have anything, or know of anyone that does. There's a website...partscounter.com or something like that, that shows obsolete parts availability. Been a while since I used it, so that might not be the exact name.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any and it's not reproduced. :(

There's websites: PartsVoice.com & rearcounter.com that list obsolete parts availability.
D3TZ-19B680-B .. Center A/C Duct / Obsolete

1973/79 F100/350 & 1978/79 Bronco with factory installed integral A/C & Hi/Lo Comfort Vent System.

rearcounter.com = Just sign on and type the part number.

PartsVoice.com = Registration is required, searching for parts is free.

When typing part numbers on websites, REMOVE the spaces or hyphens, type 'em like this: D3TZ19B680B

These are the sites you are using to obtain part numbers?
No.
These are two of the three sites I use to search for obsolete parts, after I look up the part numbers in Ford car/truck parts catalogs.
