No fresh air intake on my Vintage Air system. All I have are four lines
heading into a Polished Aluminum bulk fitting that direct the A/C and water
into the cab. I just could bring myself to weld up the center cowl vent
after all the memories of cranking the vent open on a hot summer night and
having the fresh cool breeze rush through the cab. My 50 as you know didn't
come with vent windows so the center cowl vent "Not an original 1950 Cab so
I didn't have a drives side cowl vent" was my only source of direct outside
air. Funny after welding everything else up in the truck that I just kept
putting off welding up that vent every single day until I finally said "I'm
leaving it"!
Just had to have A/C and have only used it twice? But I've cranked the vent
open more times then I can count!
