I appear to be missing the two Heat/AC distribution plenums highlighted in red in the picture below... Also missing whatever valve or whatever that is that is coming out of the bottom of the plenum on the left (shown exploded)

Any idea who might sell/source these parts? :shrug:

as soon as I can take mine out I'd sell it. I've got complete ac and the outside firewall box fell apart going to go heat only. I should have those pieces I'll have to check.

You can get the left side plenum from most square body parts suppliers for around $30. It will not have the foot cooler though. You will probably have to get the center section and floor heat diverter from a donor truck. I looked in the 6 catalogs I have and no one carries those parts.

The only part I've been able to find is for non AC versions, and it comes out from the main fan/diverter box (LMC has it for 30 bucks).. There's a valve of some kind in that port on A/C versions... The one I have comes out of the other plenum box of the two that I highlighted in red... The Non A/C one comes out of left the end of the box behind that that box attaches to the front of...

If you have seen the one for the A/C version anywhere, please let me know where...

Appreciate it!

I've asked a couple friends around here to check their donor truck piles as well...

Are there any special 'necessary' valves or whatever in the parts I need?

I'm wondering why I couldn't just build a plenum myself that connects to the upper plenum, and then use regular round duct to replace the piece on the left?

Anyone done this (surely some have), and have pictures and or a link to a thread about it?

Thanks,
Mark
:cheers:

I had to use some ingenuity and some aluminum flex duct. I found a piece at Home Depot. It works for now. The tricky part is stretching it out and then squashing it enough to fit up under the steering column.

Can you guys post pictures of the parts you have, and what it might cost to get them in my hands?
