Did you ever get defroster ducts? I had seen Andy's thread on here before and emailed him but never got an answer. I notice that is website is also down. Mac's is carrying them now and for all I know may be the ones built earlier by Andy since he was looking for a vendor (LMC) to market them. I thought I would order from Mac's, but wanted to know if anyone here had used them.

I already have a Crown Vic front end sitting on the work bench wait to be installed.

Andy is just about finished with another run of the defroster ducts and yes he is the supplier at MAC's. He charges $90 per set. Don't know what MAC's charges.

It has been awhile since I had time to do anything. It was overheating. Put a new Aluminum radiator and fan in. Also moved the transmission cooler off of the radiator and made a bracket to snug it up by the grill. The Dolphin Temp gauge show 210 my my inferred diagnostic gauge shows 185. Need to fix that next.
I have the dolphin gauges as well and had the same issue running hot, turns out you need to follow the instructions and use the sending unit that they send with the gauges and not your factory one. Works great when you use the correct equipment. D |

I do not have that since they were already installed when I got the truck.
Send them an email they will tell you which one to get or sell you one. They're a good bunch. D |
Got an adjustable temp. switch for the fan from Summit and got that installed. Noticed the oil filter was leaking and replaced that.
Julie and I will be taking the truck out deer and hog hunting this weekend. |
New aluminum radiator helps the truck keep it's cool. Did the round trip out to the land (300miles) without any issues.
I think the truck likes it out there. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...f34c9ebffe.jpg |

I put disc brakes on my 65 and the powerbake setup you have and it isn't large enough. do you still have the shoe brakes on your truck

Awesome Truck, nice job on the slow customization
|
Great looking truck. Going to turn out nice!
