HI on all my 78-79 fords the large flexible hose (rectuangular shape) that runs up to the center dash vents on the factory AC trucks are totally wasted. I couldn't find it on lmc or DC Is there a source for these? Or if Numberdummy or momeone else can see is there any left out there please let me know?
Thanks
John

 

I could only find one on ebay when I was redoing my truck

 

Anyone else? to the top

 

They are not reproduced. I found one in a parts truck, but had to go through many to find one that wasn't in bad shape. As Ronzi said, ebay is a good place to look. I usually see one on their quite often. What are the rectangular measurements on one of those anyway?

 

Check out a industrial supply house and see if they have some like material. The cooling ducts on some of the electrical supply panels at work is much like the ac ductwork in a dent.

 

1) D3TZ19B680A .. Right A/C Plastic Tube-There is no flexible duct on the right side according to the parts catalog pic / Obsolete

OWEN FORD in Jarratt VA has ONE = 434-535-8515.

KLIMESH MOTOR SALES in Calmar IA has ONE = 563-562-3241.
------------------------------------------------------------
D8TZ19B680A (replaced D5TZ19B680A) .. Left A/C Duct / Note: Ford only sold this flexible duct with the tube, it was not available as a separate part. / Obsolete

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.
-----------------------------------------------
1) D3TZ19B680B .. Center A/C Duct / Obsolete

No Ford Dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any. Since this duct has two different rectangular measurements, I doubt y'all will find anything in the aftermarket sector that matches.

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

With factory A/C, the A/C controls are integral with the heater controls.

With the two types of Ford Dealer installed A/C, the A/C controls are separate from the heater controls.

 

Thank you so much Numberdummy & everyone elso. I guess I will just have to watch e-bay for some useable ones.

Yeah, you're right. You would think that it wouldn't be tough finding a replacement or at least something close, but I remember looking all over before I found a good one in countless parts trucks I looked at. One could always make some sort of adapter to slide over the rectangular holes but to accomodate a round duct hose like some aftermarket A/C units have.

 

Looks like we'll be bidding against eachother - I've been hunting as well, don't be too hard on me in ebay land.

 

Heres one......

73-79 FORD TRUCK 78-79 BRONCO A/C AIR CONDITIONING DUCT - eBay (item 150519910152 end time Nov-20-10 16:00:00 PST)

 

Have at it After finding this out I found a pair on e-bay Will need another one some day but not right now.

& thanks all

Just saw one on ebay for well over $300. Has anyone had any luck adapting a round one?

 

I was also unable to find a source so i 3d printed adapters for the vent and the ac box side so i was able to run regular 2.5 in ac duct from oreillys. Message me if anyone needs some made. The ac box side i glued on and the vent side is press fit.

 

Nice job on the adaptors and the offer to make others.
