Floor pans for sure! I’ll throw a couple emojis for all the above!
@RUSH55 Curious on heat/ac. Will you be running the same vent system throughout or adding some additional?
Nice touch with the diamond plate, assume its rubber?

 

[RUSH55]

Thanks @mn12 !
The AC/heat will be one of the last puzzle pieces. Resto-Mod or one of the other aftermarket units.
Rubber diamond plate firewall mat I picked up from work for free. Non-conductive “switchboard” floor mat.

I'm real leary of Restomod. They dumped the older products and you can't get parts for them, like mine. The new products have the same inferior wiring and connections, but are now controlled by bluetooth? I like to just turn a knob instead of dialing up an app. I'm sending away for the Vintage Air mock up model that lets you set if the exact model fits your space before buying the real unit. My 2 cents.

Half tempted to make a unit using parts from Red Dot if the aftermarket can’t do any better than that.

What more, Bobby?

Red Dot makes some good back wall or secondary units which might be enough, but it's hard to keep a 55 cool in the Summer.

 

[Megadoomer]

Yes, I want to put a Red Dot unit for a rear AC in my pig.

I wanna see how that goes! California can get pretty hot. Rush55 I know that Arizona gets pretty toast as well.

I'm a dealer for both VA and Restomod. I find the VA builder series offers something that will fit pretty much any truck, and they do stand behind their products if something goes wrong which I have rarely experienced.

Ceramic coating all the glass (windshield too) makes a remarkable difference when trying to keep a 55 cool in the summer.

I am a huge fan of the Vintage Air Slimline Under Dash AC/Heat all in one unit I put in my ‘69 pig. It has four vents and tucks up under the dash. Doesn’t look out of place. Plus it blows super cold and I live in Las Vegas. Bought all the components from Summit. I have ceramic tint in my 100 and it is incredible. I plan on putting it in my pig at some point to help with the sun.

Shock resistant up to 30K volts.
Not why I got it.
It was free, and I liked the design.

Little bit of a chess game.

Two steps forward, one step back.

Or some days it feels like one step forward, two steps back...
