shaving wipers and vents on my 72
 
I'm planning on removing the wipers on my 72 also shaving it and the vents aswell.

I've already searched the web, but can anyone post pics of their shaved wipers/vents please.

I heard rumors that it is a pain to shave the vents and wipers.

Also I'm planning on running a vintage air CA component on my truck. Would I be OK without the vents??

Sorry for the newbie questions

Thanks

ABRAHAM

What is a vintage air CA component? Do you mean the entire vintage air kit? Then yes, you will be fine, as the VA kit does not use outside air with it's system.

If you're using the factory GM underdash unit, it does pull air from the outside through the passenger side vent.

I can't imagine not having wipers? I drive my truck too much. Been caught in tons of rain storms. Doesn't it rain quite a bit in east texas?

This truck has everything shaved:

sorry my phone has auto correct, and yes I meant VA AC.

I really like the stealth look on the truck though, and yes it rains often here Houston. I'm only planning on driving it in the weekends or days I'll know not to be expecting any rain.
Thanks for the link aswell bud.
