Dave, I just edited my last post... there are several sets of the right ones on eBay right now... seventy five bucks (each side... yikes)!

If the template for these is being sent around, I'd like to get in line. Who has it at the moment? Very nice install and writeup, CorvetteFan.
6 slots in those so they are different as well, I am going to have a look around on the euro sites and see what I can come up with, but like most things like this unless you have an eye for the aesthetics like this (and I do not) then you are better of copying someone else

No, Dave, those have five "slots," just like mine... to make it clearer, you may have to copy and save the photo, then adjust the brightness/contrast.
I just enrolled myself in my 3 year old's class to learn to count again. I stand corrected.
Template has been sent to hzavarce. Up to him now...
Thanks Flank ! I got your PM
As far as I can tell, this is the order on which the template has been requested. I will pass it on to the next guy on the list if the guy on top decides to pass:
1) Cannon88
2) lt1fire
3) Vjofm
4) inkpot
5) Romer
6) NLXTACY
7) djsixbillion
Now I just need to find the louvers : )

I thought I was on there one post before Romer, but whatever, as long as I get in line, I'm OK. Thanks, John
That is correct inkpot, I just edited my post with the correct order
NLXTACY, when I get the template I'll scan it for you, and if that does not work we can work out another option

Umm I was supposed to be #2 on that list... might want to check again.

fixed it, thanks
Looks really nice Rob, great job and attention to detail
Please post some photos of the entire truck so the 255's are visible, it seams like every 80 looks different on set of those. Thanks for sharing this.

Can I get on the list? I just bought the vents.
Rob, if you are in Hurst I may have to come out one day and check the vents out in person. I am in Benbrook.

Be careful on those red ones. If it's the ones I looked at, I inquired about the size, W x L, and it was not the same as the OP used. Might work OK, but not the same as the template. Seems like they were smaller IIRC. John I did find the right ones from another Ebay seller. I think he had several more sets. But they were mucho $$$$ John

I only need the paper template for 20 mins so I can make a PDF of it
Because of the relative "precision" required to properly locate the cut-out in the hood, the "paper template" alone is of [very] limited usefulness.
Looking at the original post, it can be seen that the paper template only serves to locate the holes through which the locator pins go (the "locator pins" that are part of the wood cut-out template). In other words, you really need both parts (paper & wood) to make this method work.
Again, there are probably other ways to locate the actual cut-out in the hood with the needed "precision", but I was unwilling to risk cutting my one-and-only hood in the wrong place... even if it were off by 1/4" it wouldn't be good... and, of course, one would want the vents to be in exactly the same place on each side.
