AC/ Heater Vacuum hoses
« on: October 02, 2012, 09:31:01 pm »
Ok guys, I have a 1978 Chevy K-10 4x4 with a 350. I am in the process of replacing the housing and all the bell and whistles that goes along with the heat/AC. I seemed to have came across a small problem. Does anyone know where I can find the hoses that run from the vent selecter switch to the actuaters, or can I just use the regular vacuum hose from the parts store? I wasen't sure about the regular vacuum hose because I know it T's off in some place. Any guidence on where I need to go from here would be greatly appreciated.


Also, does anyone know where I could find a diagram of where all of the hoses plug into?
Thanks for all the help in advance.

I've been told that a chiltons manual for that truck will show the routing on the vac hoses but not sure. I've got the same problem. Trying to get my heater up and going and some of the hose connections have been cut and I'm not sure where they go.

well, I have the Haynes manuel and it is not in there, but thanks for your reply. I believe I got it somewhat figured out just by plug and play. If you need any help I will try the best I can because i know it can be a pain.

Hoses for the AC only or?  I think this has been posted recently..  If someone reading this remembers, let me know and I will move it to the Tech section if it isn't there already.
Vacuum hose will work on the connections...
