vent conversion

Is there a way to put vents for the heat in my 78 F-100 Custom? It only has heat, no a/c. I looked at one which had vents, and i was wondering if anyone made a conversion kit to put vents in the dash?

Not sure of any converstion kits.

However, I have a good friend that was able to pull that off with all factory equipment. Looking at the salvage yards or ebay for the stuff needed: Vents, vent piping, and control from a truck with the A/C option. My friend then took several pictures of how it all came together and cut the vent holes in the dash and installed all the hardware. When complete...Factory Look!

Now...it was a bit of work for him, but it will get you what you are looking for. Good luck!

You could pull the whole dash and install an AC dash.
