Air duct missing ...

Hi all,
on a 71 442 no ac, if I look under the dash, there's nothing that goes from the heater box to the defrost duct,
trying to figure out what I need to join them. Yes I need two flex hose but how it is connected to the heater box ?. Here's what I have (see pic from web)

Thanks

I think you're missing the defrost adapter & possibly both the LH & RH defroster hoses?

Wow great info, thanks. At chicagomusclecarparts.com, I would need #2 and #3, but #3 don't look like the one in your pic.

Thanks

You need Defroster Adapter ASM Part No. 397784
Several on eBay in various condition which physically demonstrate the part number located on the actual adapter.

If you can view the Part Number on the Adapter you are most likely guaranteed it's the correct part.

BTW, you can find defroster/heater hose almost anywhere at very economical pricing. I don't know if the LH side & RH side are same diameter. I think one side is 2.5". I think there's a thread w/ the diameter dimensions listed by a member. I'll see if I can find it. If so, you can buy heater hose anywhere.
