So my door parts from LMC and BGY are arriving today and tomorrow. around a week delivery as expected.
I completely took apart the HVAC housing in the engine compartment to deal with the mouse remnants. Only way to get things clean. Cleaned it with purple cleaner and a sponge during the rain this week. Then went back and did spot cleaning the next day where I missed stuff.
SJ Radiator gave the factory Heater core a once over and cleaning, so I am reusing it. Can't find a brass replacement or the foam sealing kit for the replacement.
Evaporator, well going to have to replace it. It is a $$$ expense, but I was warned that I would never get the mouse piss smell out of it and it has be open to the elements a long time...
Got internal metal parts soaking in Evap-o-rust, no kits to re-foam the Blend door like the EB's. I will have to be creative.
Napa provided the replacement blower motor, but no one seems to have a new squirrel cage. So I scrubbed that and then soaked it in Evap-rust. I will paint it and it should be good.
Anyone else have a 78-79 Bronco or 73-79 F150 with factory air? I am trying to figure out what else I am missing for the AC. Mostly the lines, and valves, (Exp valve, orifice tube, hose routing, etc)
Skip you got AC on your truck?
And the rebuilt Instrument cluster... the Speedo was not working, so I shipped it back to the Vendor and UPS beat the Sh*t out of the box. Not sure how bad it is, but there is insurance, I know it will be a process, hopefully it will cover the damage repairs... Always something...
