Question Foggy Windshield

I will start by stating I rebuilt my heater box last year and have upgraded my blower motor to the 79 Chevy motor, which comes with a bigger hamster cage.

My 67 only has two defrost vents left and right, I think my non-running 74 has one in the middle too, or at least an open hole there. I need to check this out.

Just wondering if anybody out there has made any awesome upgrades to the defroster ducts / system that keep the windshield clear?

Even with rain x no-frost I still have to fight the sides and middle at times.

You could try to rig an auxcillary heater there is write up on a Classic broncos.Com site.Under new tech to the left of the screen.

My heater i found in a van,had to fix the heater cord for $75.
not bad for free.Haa!

I have the liquid cool raditator out of a 80s Honda Shadow plus it has a built in fan already.Perfect fit for under the rear seat.It almost more pratical to run this heater ,then my current location.(Future rollcage).

Just ideas!

Thanks for the ideas. What kind of van was it? I think the stock Bronco box can't reall pull enough air through it to really be a powerful defroster.

The heater i picked-up was a older Tempco heater.It was aftermarket not a factory heater,basically consists of a blower and heater core..
Like i said the 80s honda 750 liquid cool rad with a built in blower would work excellent also.It could fit under a seat front or rear.
