A/C vent hose
Hey everybody,
I just picked up my sweet $400 '77 F-250, and while I was putting in a modern radio, I noticed all of the flexible duct hoses for the dashboard ac vents have disintegrated into a steel coil with bits of paper like cloth on them. after a couple days of internet searching and thumbing through the LMC catalogs, I cannot find them. Was wondering if anyone has a part number or a suitable alternative.
the blower kicks on with the switch, so I just need to throw a v-belt on the compressor and connect the hoses to the vents to see where i stand on having ac.

Check this thread out. There's good tip for repairing the vent hoses. They are not reproduced.

Thanks Paredneck33, I'd figured i needed to do something similar, was just hoping for something off the shelf. From what I could tell, All of my vent ducts were round, and one poster's comment about hvac ducting gave me a light bulb.
I'll document what i end up doing, for posterity,
