Air Conditioning Vent
Has anyone ever heard of an AC vent that fits where the ash tray is in he center of the dash for a 56 F100?
Don't need the ash tray but I do need AC...

I don't know anything about a vent that replaces the ash tray, but I do know you'll want more than just that one vent, if there is such a thing. You'll have better circulation if you have one on each side of the dash. You can benefit from a third in the middle to help, but imho, it's less important than the side ducts.

That is some nice work. I may decide to make a lower piece like that if I don't find a way to put the vent in the ash tray location.

I too built a lower dash extension and installed my AC vents in it after I filled my ash tray and glove box. My AC controls (modified Miata unit) go in the center console. A smooth brushed SS panel goes over the flat part of the dash.

I second the dash extension... there are a couple of problems I see if you don't use your ashtray...
- Missing trim on top of the ashtray.
- If you try using another ashtray, it may not match color...
