Did Ford offer a heater demister in there custom cabs, I am just wondering are these vents on my dash specific for a heater demister. Cheers Paul

 

Paul, ..Demister??..If you are refering to the vents in the dash " at the winshield", we call them "defroster vents". Warm air from the heater-box is directed to the lower windshield...warm-air rises and clears the glass of ice in our cooler climates.
There should be a left and right duct, mounted to studs under the openings, with flex-tubes going to the heater-box...
Your project is looking Great!

 

Forgot to mention...there is also a trim-strip to cover the openings on top ofthe dash, some people chrome them, or paint to the body color, or flat-black.....trim is mounted with 4-5 screws......hope that helps!!

 

thanks Mertz, thought these where defrost wholes as you Americans call them.lol. I can used them for my A/C when I install it.

 

Hi Paul.
I noticed you had everything together all backwards like so I stayed up all night fixing it for you. You will still have to move the gear shift lever though.



Later Man...

 

Hey Aussie!In Victoria, You MUST have some function to blow warm air onto the windscreen to clear fog.....I dunno about Western Australia???

 

Mine looks the same as in your pic , but i have a trim piece that goes from one side to the other that diverts the air onto the windshield. Its about a half inch wide with a taper and curved to match the windshield.

 

Dave, nice job in the reversing the dash back to it's original position. It took me close to three years, wow you did over night! LOL.... Cheers Aussie 53 (Paul)

 

Just a little fun I couldn't resist. Seriuosly, You have done a great job. It looks as though you will be driving it soon.

Later Man...
