Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Dash pics?

[Kevin Riel]

John,       Thanks a bunch!  I'm trying to see if I can use the repo A/C left and right vents that Vintage Air handles on my '68 dash.  It's originally a non-A/C car.  I bought Vintage Air's sure fit Chevelle system for my dash, but would like to get as close as possible to the original look.  Here's a link to their catalogue site, you just have to select the "Chevelle" section and you will see the spot where they show part number 49306-VCL as a 67-68 factory air outside replica vent.    http://www.vintageair.com/catalog.asp      After calling them, they told me these are REALLY for a 66-67 Chevelle, but some vendors sell the exact same units also listing them as fitting a 69.  After questioning, no one claims they will fit a 68.  I can't understand this, as I'd suspect that the countours of a 68 and 69 dash would be identical where these vents would fit.  I've never seen a 66-67 Chevelle with air in it, so I wouldn't know if the countour of that dash is the same or even close.  I found one vendor that told me that listing them as fitting a 69 was a misprint.      I do a lot of fabrication, so I don't have a problem doing a bit of reworking to make them fit, but I want something that doesn't look jerry rigged when done.  So, I'm trying to guesstimate my odds at getting a nice looking dash out of them if I buy a pair.  No one seems to be able to help me out much.  I'm kinda winging it.... and thought pics of a 69 dash would be a good start to help me compare what it looks like versus my 68.  Pics of a 66-67 dash with air in it would help also.  Does any of this make sense.... I know I'm rambling a bit here....   Kevin Riel 68 El Camino     ----- Original Message ----- From: John Nasta To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 1:25 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 69 Dash pics? I could take some. What are you trying to see? Mine has A/C and Astro ventilation. If you want to see pics of the three different dash carriers for that year, I can email them to you. There is also Astro/non-A/C, and non-Astro/Non-A/C.   John Nasta       -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Kevin Riel Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 4:09 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: [Chevelle-list] 69 Dash pics?   Would anyone on the list happen to have pics of a 69 dash that I could view?  If so, please let me know.  Thanks.   Kevin Riel 68 El Camino
