different defrost vents?

Post by Zorm »

anyone tried to put more then just these two square holes. Like the modern long style? I like "junk yard mods" so if any one has something like that the better, thanks

I'd seen two trucks here GRAFT the dent era rectangular defroster ducts like you're asking about over the years, (it is a lot...of work). I'm pretty sure you'll need to have the front windshield out so the metal work on the dash can be properly done. The dent era defrost ducting works 4X as good, but even upgrading your fan motor to the dent era helps the defrost tremendously, (with only 1/4 the amount of work). :wink:
