Comparable heater ducts?

Are there any other vehicles (that might be found in a salvage yard) that use the same under dash ducting (hard plastic pieces) as a 68-442, w/ bucket seats, console and AC. I am missing the plastic adaptor(a) that go on the heater box; which the cloth vent hoses attach to. So my three dash vents and windshield vents are useless....I get creative or find some.

One of the SW USA folks parting a car, and/or
http://www.mcmaster.com/#fabric-duct-hose/=sqnsun

should get you going.

'68 and '69 are similar
I used to have the PN's recorded, so you could do a google/epay search for that number embossed into the part.

If some of the parts are the same as '70-'72 stuff, I might have it.

The CSM shows these part numbers:
Defroster adaptor: 397784
Left duct air outlet: 399411
Right duct air outlet: 399410
Center outlet lower: 399407
and last but not least,
Manifold assembly: 399408

I am missing all these damn plastic pieces!

Found some photos
pix notes say 69-72 is alike, but, it would seem like you could get them to work with a '68 easier than starting from scratch.

It's quite a few pieces there.
One pic says the RD duct is
68-72 Ducts Defrost-RH Gr. 9.779 PN 397888

But I don't think that's what you need. I see the flexible hoses were squarish.

Sounds like you may need the defrost "Y" from rectangle to two 2.5" rounds
PN 397784

It would take me hours to put all them photos out there, so that won't happen, but maybe I could email a zip file.

You need to find the untapped parts car if you want 1968-specific pieces...
