I know I've got a goofball application (1980 Ramcharger), and as such, I wouldn't expect someone like Resto Rick or Detroit Muscle to be putting out a foam kit for my hater/AC box like they do for late 60/early 70 a, b & e bodies.
My question is, where can I purchase and what do I call the foam needed to re-do this box.
30 years in the dry Arizona weather has turned every inch of foam into dust the second I touch it. Would a generic closed-cell foam in the appropriate width and thickness with an adhesive backing do the job? I'm not so much interested in "factory correct" as I am functional (even beyond what was available back in 1980).
Here are some pictures of what I'm working with:
And as a second question, there were no heater hoses in the engine bay of this truck, and these covers were over the heater core inlet/outlet. They seems to be thick rubber and were definitely heated/shrunk onto there. I cut them off (I plan on using the heater core), and inside looked pristine and untouched. Was it ever an option for non-heat?
Thanks all
Looking forward to some nice before and after pictures to share with you all.
