what else do I need for the rear defrost?

 

[mopardrt]

any help?

Is that just the vent on top ? There should be a vent defuser underneath mounted to the rear deck and a blower motor there as well.... wiring and a switch to the dash. Thats all I am aware of.

I think there are 2 different styles of blower units - one that has a hose that connects from the air out on the blower to the plastic plenum attached to the vent and the other style is self-contained in that no hose or vent is needed. Don't have the 1st style but do have the 2nd.

Great job so far. If the torsion bar mount is that heavily rusted you might want to replace it now, rather than later.

I believe I have the motor and some other parts to go with from a 73 Swinger.PM if interested.
