Does anyone make the heater ducting for a '71 Chevelle, or am I going to need to head to a junkyard? I'm asking about the ducting that goes to the 'lap warmers', under the dash. Thanks.

I used the hot air flex/aluminum tubing that is used on cars that have smog controls. Its flexible and works very well on my 72 chevelle.

My local Car Quest had it for 1/2 what the catalogs wanted. They ordered it for me and had it the next day and I didn't have to pay shipping ;)

Most junk yard flex duct is junk. Never bother to haul it home.

Some of these guys will argue with you over what constitutes a good "lap warmer" and where to find them... ;)
