[@PCHelp-ct8vq]

Wholey cow !! That is the perfect place for the vents !!! Excellent idea !

[@yeboscrebo4451]

I'm going to do it the way you did as well. There's no way I'm cutting that much out of my nice abs pad

[@nickatdallas]

Hey boss can you upload next part as soon as you get the chance, I’m working on my 66 f100 installing Vintage Air system fallowing your video. 👍

[@AutoRestoMod]

Hopefully we'll finalize at least the draw down and set up this weekend. We will try and show vent install too.

[@trkinwithmikey]

Well looks like Colonel mustard is coming right along

[@chrisgramza8582]

I love how you have Pop's hat still in the frame...

[@AutoRestoMod]

That one is Bills, I have dad's in my bedroom on the shelf next to my grandads fedora.

[@markwoten6679]

Would you not apply a lubricant on the gaskets (O Rings) on the two copper pipes coming out of the evaporator?

[@AutoRestoMod]

We did.

[@jedclampett6466]

The instrument cluster in the 1 ton is made of steel and far more attractive.

[@AutoRestoMod]

I can appreciate your thoughts; the F100, F250 and F350 used the same dash. I think you are talking about the F500s and F600s They are a little harder to find and pretty expensive, plus the light switch is moved up to the instrument cluster; leading to body work on the dash panel or a choke cable or some such on the dash.

[@trkinwithmikey]

Dakota Digital makes a dash with a tack built in it looks real similar to the Ford setup

[@AutoRestoMod]

Yep, But I worry that I am quickly out distancing the value of my truck with the sum of it's new parts...LOL😀

[@trkinwithmikey]

@@AutoRestoMod Yeah I think it's a little too late for that. At some point it just becomes a labor of love.

[@jimbascombe7707]

I have a 68 f-100 and I put that system in is nice having ac. But it was a pain in the ass to put in. I had to do it by myself which made it harder.

[@AutoRestoMod]

It can be difficult. But no more than a stock unit; classic 1968-73 Mustang AC systems are really hard too.

[@jimbascombe7707]

@@AutoRestoMod the up side was my 68 had the ac at one time.

[@dragonslair59]

You have become a Ford engineer. 10# of crap in a 2# bag. Lol looks great keep up the good work

[@domenicferrelli4343]

That look easy. Try putting it in a 68 mustang. I needed physical therapist after. Note: you saw my car in Florida at mustang roundup at Silver Springs. Domenic

[@AutoRestoMod]

Yeah, Even so, it ain't no picnic! But well worth the work.

[@ricardodavidgarciamendez6419]

OK LOCOS SALUDOS DESDE "IZTAPALAPA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO"

[@Vikter_zepeduh]

Can you use the factory vents with this system??

[@AutoRestoMod]

You lose the fresh air vent on the passenger side. Drivers side stays. But I am going to nuke them both.

[@nickatdallas]

31:10 I had a same issue today, that thing doesn’t fit very well 😤

[@AutoRestoMod]

It is a tight fit. But stock 1967-73 units will cause cussing fits too. I have broken off a drain nipple on a factory A/C, realized it and had to take it BACK OUT and repair it. Good times...might be where my facial tic comes from now that I think on it...😃

[@clevelandmaker386]

OH GREAT PLASTIC WHISPERER GREAT VIDEO ANYWAY I DIDN'T THINK THAT THE AC WAS THAT HARD

[@AutoRestoMod]

That drill through really pissed me off. SO nice looking then BAM!

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Well I’ve spent the last three hours trying to get this damn thing in and its not going. I have no idea how you guys wiggle that thing in there without damaging it.

[@AutoRestoMod]

You may have to pull on the lower part of the dash a bit to get the box in there. Another friend had the same problem and ended up grinding the welds on the lower and pulling the dash out. Ford seems to have been a bit willy nilly on placement of the mounting points.

[@omarleyva9864]

Has any one tried the Lmc ac system do they work.is it worth it?

[@AutoRestoMod]

We have not yet tried them so I can't speak to the systems reliability or ease of install.

[@gran76torino47]

I like what what your doing as far as sharing the knowledge. Unfortunately its hard to watch your videos with how much you sma k your lips. Could you stop smacking so much so those of us who have mesophonia can learn from you

[@AutoRestoMod]

Might as well ask me to stop breathing. Was not even aware that I did. Thanks now you've triggered my Allodoxaphobia...

[@AutoRestoMod]

OH! and on this episode I fought a mic issue in post production that really was hard to deal with, pretty sure the smacking sound is accentuated do to trying to fix the audio to make it more listenable.

[@yeboscrebo4451]

I have mesophoniac phobia. Could you please shut the hell up?
