69 air cab · 10-29-2005, 09:27 PM

anyone have good clear pics of a 69 C10 firewall for v8 with A/C? I have what I think are extra holes and would like to know what I should weld up.

Don't know if this helps or not, but all I have...

thanks Chuck. now if we can get some more from others it would be a big help. I know I have at least two holes on the section just behind the engine that should not be there.....i think

67chevemall · 10-31-2005, 01:41 PM

I would like to know this too! I have holes I don't use.
And would like to use the right one and weld up the others.
I'll get some pics later.

There is one hole next to the AC unit that needs to be welded up I think. Atleast it looked funny on mine.

69 air cab · 11-06-2005, 07:33 PM

still looking for the correct holes in the firewall. Can you help with pics of firewall?

**VetteVet** · 11-06-2005, 07:48 PM

hope this helps

WOW VetteVet........this is great. I really really appreciate the info. Betweek you and 75 customer camper this is very good info. One questions.......looking at your pic and looking at the hole to the left of the throttle linkage, on the other side of the indented area that is over the tranny, what are the correct holes in that area? I have about 5 holes in that area. Thanks a lot.

i just took my ac and heater assembly off the firewall yesterday! does everybody else find a ton of leaves back there? how does that happen?

**VetteVet** · 11-06-2005, 09:38 PM

Well I went out and looked at the firewall on my 67 that I'm re-doing and there are also 5 holes in the area to the left (passenger side) of the throttle mount. These are small 1/4 to 5/16 diameter holes and the one in the center of the trans hump has a sheet metal screw coming from the inside of the cab. I'm guessing it's a heater duct mount. I can't get in to look until I can roll the truck outside the garage. the two on the far left have rubber plugs in them. Those are about a foot apart vertically. Anything else was empty. You are not refering to the heater core housing mounts are you?

69 air cab · 11-06-2005, 09:56 PM

if you'll look at Matthulham's pic he sent you will see the grommet on the right side of the pic that has three wires/hoses coming out of it...........this is the area where I ahve a big hole like he has then I have abut 4 others anywhere from 1/4 to about 1/2" in dia.

**VetteVet** · 11-06-2005, 10:47 PM

My 67 doesn't have the large hole with the grommet where the wires come through but there is a dimple there and the small holes have the 2 rubber plugs in them. The others are just open. HTH
