Source for AC vent hose?
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

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?

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.

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.
