You'll notice the pre-drilled holes for the cover, which weren't originally installed in the light duty trucks. I think it cleans up the look.

I'd use the OE S-duct if at all possible. Can't share a photo of the repro example at the moment but it looks much different. The difference is akin to the overseas repro firewall insulation. Get the USA made stuff that Wes carries at Classic Heartbeat if still available as it looks OE.
Thanks P. I wonder why they didn't paint the sheet metal inside the heater box? - that's a lot of surface rust for this ride. I know it takes a resistor or something like.

My edgeucational is pretty light on wiring and grounds at this point, that's going to change some come next year, can't wait to wire it

Can't wait for the duct hoses too, there was hardly anything left to pull and I've never installed it, tight fit in there, fun

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s of OEM identifications and part numbers, all written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
