Cutlass A/C Ductwork
Hi All,
I am in the process of restoring a 1970 Cutlass Supreme with A/C.
I have found most of the hard plastic duct parts in various junk yards and round flexible duct, in reproduction. What I can't seem to find anywhere are the rectangular flexible ducts that connect to the side vents. Someone must make a reproduction part (all the original I have found are degraded.) However, I haven't found a supplier. Does anyone know where this item might be found? Anyone found a decent substitute?
Thanks,
Vinnie.

i think you will have to find good used. it is out there just hard to find. i think i have more left side than right side. i will see if i have an extra set that is good. last set i sold i got $100 for. about $20 of that was for good packing to keep it from flexing around during shipping. the right side is easy to install but the left can be a major pain.

Thanks guys,
I tried vintage in Tampa. He only has round ducts. I have called most of the usual suspects and come up empty. All of the used ducts that I've seen were pretty degraded. Wonder if there is someone out there who will make custom ducts? With the popularity of this vehicle - I'm surprised it is such a difficult item to find!
