a/c control and vacuum lines question
Does the a/c controls on the roof (either up front or the one for the back seat riders) have vacuum lines like the main dash controls do? (**** controls, not the digital button ones)
i'm wanting to relocate the dash controls to the roof in my 04 f350 so i can use the space on the dash for my double din radio and an equalizer. if it's going to be too much work, i'm going to figure something else out. but curious if the vacuum lines in the excursion also run to the roof like they do on the main controls. here's behind my dash controls in my f350
at least if i do extend these lines, there is a coupling so to speak in the middle, so i won't have to cut anything (other than the actual wires of course)
if i do end up doing this, i'm planning on getting either a full size OHC from an excursion with the space to house the a/c controls so it looks 100% stock, or the smaller individual a/c control housing for the back seat controls. either way, i don't want to fiberglass or custom make a housing for them, i think the excursion console will look way better and will look like it came that way stock!

that's what i was afraid of...i was kind of hoping there was, at least to the first OHC mounted control above the dash, so maybe i could use those longer stock lines to mount my dash controls there. any ideas on how i can extend the lines? i'm sure it's been done before in custom show trucks so i know it CAN be done, question is how much work am i looking at, etc.? the lines look easy to get to, as shown in the pics, and the wires are easy enough to cut and extend to the proper length. not sure if extending the vacuum lines though will mess with how the vacuum system works?
