Check out "Vintage Air" out of San Antonio, TX. They have been around for many,many years. Good product. I have installed two over the years. chuck

I used a vintage air system in my 51. Works great in the fl. heat !!! But i don't really like the vents they sell with the kits. If had to do it over again i would save the money and gets some from pick & pull junkyards. I remember seeing some in a chevy van that were really cool. Vintage air charges to much for the ones they sell. I have mine in a dash extension i built [looks good] but it don't blow air in your face but girls with shorts on seem to like it just fine. LOL

Check with a local hotrod shop in your area and see if the have the mock up for the Vintage Air.... I used the Gen IV and it is what I'm planing on using... I will also use a lower dash extension...
