I was a slacker today. Might have been Spring fever, today is first in 8 days that we have been over the freezing mark.

A friend of mine bought my '97 Expy. It has had a few problems he wants to pay me to fix. One of them is the heat/ac blend door. Apparently it's a known weakness. I went with the "cut through the glove box" route instead of pulling the dash, AC, heater core, duct box, etc. Still a PITA.

Just got the new door in place and tested. Tomorrow I get to glue it all back together and seal it.

Some times the vacuum line for the ESOF will leak at the front hubs allowing the ESOF not to work.

Ah, your referring to the blend door I assume. The blend door on those is manipulated by a servo motor. The window/vent/floor control is vacuum. The hubs are not leaking. This was actually the bottom of the blend door where it couples to the servo. It is a common fail point.

That looks very nice John. You must like the smell of boiled linseed oil.

Is that the 56 P/U out back?
