I thought that I'd post this here in case any one is interested in this mod. For me it was a free mod as I had the material laying around. If you have to come up with the materials it's still a cheap mod. It to me was easier than hunting and buying an A/C delete heater box.

 

Dude, that looks really sweet! Do you have instructions on how to fabricate it? I was thinking about doing something similar myself.

 

Early S-10 none A/C box will work.
Just have to watch the year there are two different ones.
Cost $10.

 

can we get a before shot? I'm gonna make this sticky. Does the heater still work?

 

Sorry no instructions or before photos. We didn't get the dig cam untill about 6 weeks after this was done but I will see what I can come up with since there's some interest.

And yes the heater still works. After taking out the A/C coil and screen filter that was there the thing really moves some air now. Unlike the factory A/C delete heater box this still uses the larger fan.

 

Do you happen to know the year(s) that will work?

btw, where in Dayton are you? Im at UD...

 

I dug out an old a/c box and here's roughly what I cut off.

 

Here's the aluminum angles that I made. You just add holes where you want them.

I used 10/32 fastners and black RTV. The only other thing that I used was some 1/4" thick black plastic.

 

Here's a top view....

 

And another top view.....

 

what's with the switch on the wiring in front of the box?

 

It kills power to the computer

 

And you would want to do that because???

 

Changing chips (which I do often) and clearing codes.

Thats "whats with the switch"

 

The first couple years they made them, guess that would be like 84s(?)

I'm in Arcanum, 10 miles from greenville.
