Re: reproduction non a/c heater boxes
i would rather look for a stamped sheet metal box instead of the fiberglass. just my preference though. i just bought mine about a week or two ago for $65 shipped from a board member. i don't think it's worth over $120

It looks like fiberglass or some kind of composite, but what's odd is that the auction doesn't state what it's actually made from.

If you can find one cheaper, go for it. Not all factory boxes were metal though, we had a 78 A-body once and it had a fiberglass factory a/c box on the wall.

Re: reproduction non a/c heater boxes
do they make metal A/C (not non A/C) boxes by any chance? If so, where can you get one of these?

Re: reproduction non a/c heater boxes
But, as said above, it is nice to have an option. I would probably go for that if nothing turned up no the boards in a few days of looking. No cleaning it up, no painting, just slap it in and go. But after spending a week building a custom HVAC box for the firewall, it will be awhile before I start looking for an A/C delete box.

Re: reproduction non a/c heater boxes
i had thought about having some made up in fiberglass to be sold for around $100 much less and it isn't even worth the work and effort. if it's a clean and correct fitting piece $130 isn't bad.

Re: reproduction non a/c heater boxes
well like said before, if you countes the number of threds on here with someone looking for one you would be a while.... and where it look to be fiberglass, you could modify it very easily so the factory ac blower motor would fit for a true oe installation...

Re: reproduction non a/c heater boxes
Go to a junkyard, find an S-10 without A/C, take the box off, take it to the counter, give the man $5, go home, sand it, paint it, install it, call it a day. That's waht I did.
