Here is the Safe-t-plus unit I'm using. I've had one on my Bus for 20+ years. I see it as more of a safety feature as a blow out can pull you right or left when you least expect it. Out of box special for $130 shipped, $500 new.


Here is a look at the 'big steering box' in 669.


Pulled the dash for much easier access.


Here is the rear heater with new hoses. I plan on cutting an access hole here although it has limited space. Probably 7" x 14". Anything should help. Found both front and rear heater shut off valves were frozen but managed to clear them both. I'm using Gates green strip hose throughout. A bit pricey but should outlast me.


Here is a shot of the rear a/c unit. I'm replacing all hoses/fittings and hope to get all back to OEM functonality.


After a couple months on the road and later a bout with the 'plague' I'm back at it. Here is the 25" pusher fan (second try to get it right). As you can see I'm using an electronic fan clutch that Duramax vans used. Unfortunately, the LBZ PCM doesn't support the fan clutch so an aftermarket controller will be used. Because the controller is built for electric fans it will not be able to modulate fan speed. It will act as an on off adjustable temperature control with manual over ride.


Used some aluminum I had for the bracket.


Got the throttle pedal mounted.


Close quarters.


Top side view. Unlike some of the previous builds, my shift cable will pull oposite the OEM shifter. I plan on using the column out of the donor truck which reverses the FMC's shifters pull direction.


Another view.


A look at the shift cable bracket.
