Defrost vent modification

Post by sargentrs »

I know we've all struggled with our defrosters and, in particular, the vents. My intention is to open up the hole in the dash a little and install some like these a/c vents from my stepson's 2010 F150. At least they'll be directional so you can point them at your vision area. Anybody foresee any issues?

:hmm: anythings possible..no forseen issue without knowing how much room it takes to hook them up. Just a thought Randy.....late 60's Mustang vents....use the same size hose and can be fit(some fab work)closer to the windshield :D can shoot you a picture of the one I've got..to give you an idea....I opt'd for the smooth dash as my truck(hope it see's the road :doh: :lol: )won't see any cold weather
I've had enough and I'm not alone

I'd like your mod regardless! I'm putting a pad on so I afraid to any major cutting. Just figured a directional vent would at least be better than the original.
